You don't even really need that - "I'm a Wikipedia admin" opens quite
a few doors if you're careful not to explain what that really means.
Not all, my point is just that money isn't everything and there are
things you can do that don't require any. Having a limited corporation
are also going to help you take donations of things with monetary
value but that aren't money, such as copyrighted materials. You'll
also be able to form "official" partnerships with other open-content
or open-education groups, interact with government, etc. Money is
nice, but not having any isn't the worst thing in the world.
