      I wonder if this could work on a larger scale? What if a global network of ethical tech cooperatives used a shared CoBudget instance to pool some funds in a central pot, and decide together how to distribute this as funding for pro bono work?

         Some funds from this pot could also be donated upstream, to the developers of free code packages that the tech cooperatives use in their work, both comercial and pro bono.

            @mayel @strypey there was a cobudget setup for cotech at the last annual retreat - not sure of it's current status --> https://fund.coops.tech/ I'll do a bit of digging
