Is there a collective of people who just make things out of the goodness of their heart for the better of the society??

    @Jilano Why do you think that happens?
    Is it because
    - Goals don't align
    - No incentives
    - Outcomes never achieved
    Or some other reasons

    With a few ex-colleagues (quite a lot actually, over the years) we thought multiple times about making a cooperative, taking only projects for non-profits, NGO, ethical, etc etc

    We never did it. Yet.

    @WeAreMany What were the challenges? Lack of motive or never got around initiating it?

    I would assume money. You have only 24 hours in a day, gotta spend 8 hours for salaried work, you are not left with much.

    Yes. But they become hungry and homeless rather quickly.

    @Jilano That's true. Agreed

    Some projects do make it, but only very few.

    They also find a way to monetize because free work still takes effort, and no one wants to work for free — and nor should they.

    However, there was this one time that really worked well for a while. But the problem of outside competition encroaching on the labor pool caused its demise. Oh, and a strong and antagonistic federal government threatening to seize land and assets from the religious order caused people to want to disband to protect what they had been building.

    @msrivastava574 just life... You know, wives, husbands, kids...

    There is a huge level of uncertainty about stability that comes with it.

    But folks, it's a common misconception to think you can't make an income from it. NGO, foundations and others have budget. We talked to a few to confirm that.

    Of course, it's not going to make you rich... maybe it won't even be decent but I guess the idea isn't about money. If you have a small team where everyone has a partner with decent income, it's totally possible.
