Thingyverse is owned by Ultimaker, Printables by Prusa and makerworld belongs to bamboo. I don't really want to donate my models to a for profit company, so are there any similar community run alternatives where I can upload to? Cheers

They used to be. As of the Mk4 and XL they no longer share a lot of their designs, and the source is also closed.
