Support the work
This Foundation runson the people who believein it.
Free at the core is a promise that someone has to pay for. In the world we refuse to build, the cost is paid by the user, in attention and data and quiet manipulation. In the one we are building, it is paid by members and donors, on the record, every year.
If you are reading this and the work matters to you, here is where you come in. Pick whatever fits. None of it is required. All of it is welcome.
Ways to give
Four honest doors. Pick the one that fits.
The rules around the money
What we will not do for money.
A Foundation makes promises about the money it takes. These are ours, written down. Named in the charter, so a future board cannot quietly unwind them.
We will not sell ad space.
Not in the product, not in emails, not in the companion, not anywhere. No named advertisers, no sponsored content, no affiliate nudges. Charter-locked.
We will not sell data.
Not individual records, not behavioral profiles, not cohort segments. Aggregated research happens only with explicit opt-in and is reviewed by an independent research committee.
We will not gate the core for a funder.
The companion, the communities, the connections, the circle, the wellbeing tools: free, forever. A donor cannot buy their way into shaping that.
We will not take sponsorship that compromises the mission.
Behavioral ad networks, surveillance-tech, gambling, and companies whose business model runs against the charter. The right to decline is written into our partner policy.
