OSM mapping as small revenue? (lemmy.ca)

Hi there!

I like to spend my evenings mapping world, city and transportation, but wonder myself if there any kinda non-profit or small organizations that donate tips to local map contributors?

Maybe some city councils, emergency services, logistic companies and so on?

Thanks a lot

@lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII AFAIK the official reason behind the end of Osm-BTC was the war in Ukraine where the main source of shared income would come from.

TIL. It seems that you are right:

OSM BTC stopped payouts since July 2022! As a result of Russia invasion to Ukraine in 2022 (#StandForUkraine) main sponsor of OSM BTC fund has lost the ability to contribute. Fund will suspend payouts unless it finds another sponsor. https://builder.osmand.net/osm_live
