Content: Psychology & scientific self-help, stuff that might actually work, but not just self-hepl - also stuff about protective factors, like socialising & making friends & being creative? SO not just the 'here's how to get better' articles, but wider and morre positive than that. Like, supporting you as a whole person?
Recipes: low spoons versions, like 10mins, 1 pot, microwave - but still healthy if possible!
Art: with transcripts, alt text, to let everyone join in with the memes.
And sign language comedy vids, that shit's hilarious.
Shop: I've also seen people use redbubble, which seems cool.
For kinds of things to have in it: stickers, magnets & postcards of the art?
I think it's important to remember many pwd are on a budget, so cheap things are better.
Name: zellieh, everywhere.
I can't help b/c I just signed up to volunteer for another thing and training for that's going to take all my spoons for a while, but I would like to contribute content later.
In the US, some kind of 501-3 non-profit? Different states have slightly different rules for that, so check state by state.
The biggest hurdle, beleive it or not, is accounts. Get a professional in and budget for paying someone to do accounts, payroll and taxes, and someone else to periodically do audit on the accounts person/the org.
It's a legal requirement to have a public statement of accounts, which don't have to be detailed, but you have to have something. And your accounts needs to be done right, because the IRS are vicious.
It is really really hard to get volunteers with the time, the spoons, and the right bookkeeping/accounts skills and local licences; getting a professional is just easier! (See: OTW wank for details)
