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-led non-profits in and around Montana, where I live, but I sometimes choose others serving pressing needs in my area, such as the local low-barrier houselessness shelter.
I will update this page with receipts of revenue paid each quarter to each non-profit. Accountability matters, and I want you to be assured that these proceeds are going where I commit to sending them. I started returning revenue starting in January 2023.

Piikani Lodge Health Institute’s donation page was not working on their website (and still isn’t), so I sent them a check. This check (for about $80) was never cashed, so I am going to try to stop by in person and give another one.
