The Chorus website also doesnt disclose that Chorus receives funding from the Sixteen Thirty Fund. The website is very sparce on information..

A screenshot of a section from FAQ section on the Chorus wearechorus website: โ€œWho funds Chorus? Chorus is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization with grassroots support from hundreds of individuals. We're grateful to those who understand the importance of investing in the independent media ecosystem to make sure content creators have access to training and tools that help them grow.โ€

Thanks, trying to be constructive w/ feedback. I think BTCโ€™s heart is in the right place, just that the execution has areas for improvement especially if we are wanting to build a big tent. For democracy to win we need an environment built on trust & that means transparency especially w/ funding.
