mtncommunity.org Site Financial Disclosure
A cornerstone principle of this site is to
be free of advertising. As such, there is no external revenue stream to
support the costs associated with the creation and ongoing operation of the
site. These costs are covered through voluntary contributions from community
members and a small markup on mtncommunity.org “logowear” purchased at
cafepress.com.
Another cornerstone governing the operation of this site is openness. As such, we fully disclose all financial information, both expenditures and income.
