Every quarter, On the Commons returns 5% of profits (calculated before Stripe and Substack take their percentage) to a different not-for-profit organization. Most of these are Indigenous-founded and Indigenous-led non-profits in and around Montana, where I live. I sometimes choose others serving pressing needs in my area.
Accountability matters, and I want you to be assured that these proceeds are going where I commit to sending them. I started returning revenue in January 2023.
