# [DRAFT] Proposed Affiliation Models

## Rationale

There might be cases when application to become a non-profit in a certain country is onerous or the effort/cost to become one outweighs the benefits of being a LC / operating as a registered org, or that there are no non-profit model in their country; therefore, OSMF has to improve Affiliation Models in OSM.

### Onerous non-profit registration
