This HCB organization has made their finances public. Hey, what’s HCB?

Announcements

Hello, world!

Published by AJAndrei J on July 16, 2025

We have recently enabled the announcements feature preview (now officially shipped in production as I write days later) in HCB, so expect news from the crew soon (although we'll cross-post them to the Open Collective side), like progress updates, spending reports, and more. I'll be enabling this too over at Community Lorebooks later this month.

For context on those outside the Hack Club Slack (permalink), here's a copy of the announcement in question:

Hey everyone! There's a new feature released: Organization Announcements! Organization Announcements lets you use HCB to keep people who follow your organization up to date.
With this new feature you are able to:

  • have people follow your organization with the Follow button on your transactions and announcements page

  • send out announcements using a rich-text editor

  • see announcements from organizations that you follow in your email and on the new Feed page on HCB

Want to try it out? HCB and the Athena award have already published their first announcements, so go follow them here:
