I have a wiki there, and Orain is actually pretty decent as wiki farms go, though they
could probably use more regular staff members. It is non profit for the forseeable future,
though ads have been discussed only as in opt in option for those that want them.

really have the chops to deal with security and spam issues); but also did
not have a good hosting option with a larger organization or library, which
I find are often not very familiar with mediawiki (e.g. I've been trying to
get our library systems dept. to install some basic extensions for our
internal mediawiki for a couple years now).
There's not a lot of money in that particular use case, unfortunately, but
I imagine I'm not alone in that need either.
Did you see the Orain wikifarm?
https://meta.orain.org/
It seems to be targeted to the non-profit use case.
