I'm involved with a great charity called WindEmpowerment (https://windempowerment.org/), a global federation of organizations locally manufacturing small wind turbines for sustainable rural electrification, mostly based on the Piggott turbine design.

We're overhauling our website and communication vectors, and we may open a fedi/mastodon account. Does anyone have recommendations for a relevant server? Thanks!

I believe the preferred behaviour is to start your own as to not use unpaid community labour. I'm trying to find clients who would like help with setting up organizational servers. If you're interested we should set up a short call.

That being said there may be a server that is willing to host an organization's account. Maybe an admin will respond and it will be mutually beneficial.

I should say we have no paid staff (we are also unpaid community labor 😅), and there's not a lot of budget for (I'll say) experimental things: our managed Nextcloud hosting is ~€50/year and that is a core service for us that provides a lot of value, so it'd have to cost less than that. We have technical expertise on our team but no time to manage server admin as we all have full-time jobs.

Maybe though, we could justify hosting if our member orgs could have their own accounts on it
