Florida Nonprofit Alliance (FNA)

Florida nonprofit leaders statewide

No. 1

Receipt

Florida’s statewide association for nonprofit leaders. The Alliance runs member e-newsletters and member resources for the sector in Sawdust’s home state, and states a reach of ~22,000 Florida nonprofits.

Work

Home state. Sawdust is a Miami publication; FNA's members are exactly the ED/ops-lead passenger, and FNA already runs member e-newsletters — it even sells newsletter ad placements, which proves the channel exists and is used.

Minnesota Council of Nonprofits (MCN)

Minnesota nonprofit leaders

No. 3

Receipt

Minnesota’s statewide council for nonprofits. The Council publishes regional opt-in e-newsletters — roughly 1,200–1,500 subscribers each, as it states them — and a current-conditions report on the sector, whose 2026 edition appeared on October 26, 2026.

Figures as stated in the cited coverage.

Work

Active and publishing (its 2026 sector-conditions report was published October 26, 2026). Regional opt-in lists mean a smaller but self-selected operator audience — a good test market for the swap.

Founder-led sponsored projects are solo operators by definition — the exact reader who does "the AI work by hand." A policy one-pager is a compliance-shaped gift a fiscal sponsor can hand to every project at once.

The entrepreneur end of the widened tent, in its natural habitat. Indie Hackers runs on cross-promotion between builders — a newsletter swap conversation is a native first ask, with listed placements as the paid-shaped fallback.

Founder case studies with real numbers are their genre — and Sawdust's own build story (a sourced, agent-run publication) is a case study in their format. Acquired by HubSpot Media in February 2026, so expect a media-team process.

Receipt

High-school hackers with clubs, a shared workspace, and a workshop library. Hack Club’s teachers page states it engages 140,000+ teenagers across 100+ countries, with 1,500+ in-person clubs; Wikipedia’s April 2026 count records 1,000+ clubs and 100,000+ students — both figures shown, as published.

The Chairman's widened-scope passenger in its first form — the kid taking apart the radio, with a club, a Slack, and a workshop library. Desk note, in their own spirit: Hack Club states plainly that it never sells or markets anything to its students — so the only fitting shape is a free resource offered on their terms, nothing promotional.

The student passenger's front door. Desk note, stated in their own terms: the Publication Style Guide keeps contributor work human-authored and individual, and says plainly that guest posts and link placements are not their model — so the fitting shape is our writers earning contributor standing with original, sourced tutorials (the format Sawdust already publishes), with a one-line author bio as the mention.

The mirror image of Sawdust's patent-mesh direction: they read the filings big tech makes; the Shelf's commons angle reads the ones that lapse back to everyone. A guest brief on the lapsed-rights commons is a story in their format that their desk hasn't run — and the newsletter itself invites marketing partners in its own pages.
