Out of their $443,020 expenses in 2021, the biggest line item expense was $187,262 for "CONSULTANTS." Their next biggest was $169,383 of merchant processing fees. It will be interesting to see their Form 990 for 2022, which is presumably the "last year" Ben Fry is talking about..

It’s easy to miss, the 990 is a maze! I just happened to get lucky – my work had me doing a project on 990 data recently.

Damn, that's what? Do I need an MBA to understand why they'd need to spend on consultants and merchant processing fees?

The merchant fees are probably just credit card or crypto fees from then accepting donations.

developers, especially developers that work with a large contributor base on open-source projects, often get paid by non-profits under a consultant label
