[For context: A-Spec people are incredibly diverse, with varying relationship preferences and types of Aromanticism/Asexuality. We’re aiming to create an app that will help connect Asexual and/or Aromantic people across the world and give them the power to search for the specific relationships they want]
Hey everyone! To simplify the donation process when we eventually open that up, Astro and I are putting together a non-profit.
This non-profit would promote various goals:
- A-Spec research and awareness.
- Web/Mobile resources that make it easier to connect (ex: A-Café).
- Supporting other A-Spec organizations.
In essence, it would exist to help A-Spec people through academic and technological means.
We want to reassure everyone that A-Café is our sole priority. Currently, the non-profit only exists to simplify donations and attain legal protection.
Additionally, we will NOT use A-Café for research purposes. That is not what A-Café is for, and would go against our policy of user privacy.
Now, let’s move on to the potential names!
