Ok so how do they get these 19 million dollars? The app is free right?
They don't sell user data right? So... How will this app ever be profitable? Charging for it may convince some small number of users but not enough to cover 19 million costs.
Donations and grants from particulars and organizations or funds. You can do a one-time or recurring donation directly from the app.
It's a non-profit, so they don't need to be profitable, just cover the costs.
Is there a public record of who donates? Seems weird to get 19 million dollars in donations. Would be very interesting to know who donates.
