If we did this we could add it in our donation page so that ppl who click thru to there might become users just to display the adds. This might increase the revenue stream a bit more than what it otherwise would be. Maybe also if we put an automated message on everyone's talk page about it when we introduce it. en. has (i think) 1 million users, most of whom never edit, but if even a small percentage of them read while logged in (quite possible - is there some easy way to mine the Database data to find out?) then most would see the message and a percentage would opt-in which would still be 10s maybe even 100 thousand people.

I thought the Gates Foundation *was* a 501(c)(3) organization. I could be wrong about that, though. Either way, a 501(c)(3) can be a private foundation *or* a public charity.
Just checked with Guidestar (I'd give a link, but you need a free account to see the information). The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation "is a 501(c)(3) Private Nonoperating Foundation."
