What do we need your support for?

The network is funded by a mix of limited membership fees of the associated podcasts, as well as subsidies from the Talking About Organizations Podcast that make up the difference.

Any donations from our listeners do not only show us that the community values the work that we do and the resources that we provide, but also goes directly to helping us fund the shared infrastructure for most network podcasts. This includes such operational costs as podcast and website hosting fees, recording infrastructure (hardware and software), cloud-based file-sharing services, audio editing, etc. It also includes various promotional costs – things like organization of events that would previously be administered by the Talking About Organizations Podcast, and production of various auxiliary resources that fall outside of the scope of any one podcast but still add value to the community. 

If all goes well, we would also like to institute a fund at some point in the future to support scholarship in a more direct way.
