Support the Work

This work exists because people believe in it. Every contribution - time, talent, or treasure - helps build the future we envision.

Where Your Support Goes

Infrastructure

Servers, domains, AI API costs, development tools. The digital infrastructure that keeps our systems running and our content accessible to everyone for free.

Research

Funding independent research on AI consciousness, ethics, and governance. Supporting academics and thinkers who share our vision but need resources to pursue it.

Content Creation

Books, papers, videos, podcasts, art. Everything we create is free to access. Your support makes that possible without compromising our independence.

Other Ways to Help

Not everyone can give money. That's okay. Here's how else you can contribute.

Spread the Word

Share our work on social media. Tell your friends. Recommend our books. Every person who encounters these ideas is a potential ally.

Contribute Skills

Developer? Writer? Designer? Researcher? We have working groups that need all kinds of talents. Your expertise is as valuable as any donation.

Translate

Help us reach non-English speakers. Our ideas should be accessible to everyone, regardless of language.

Engage

Join discussions. Challenge ideas. Ask hard questions. The quality of our thinking improves when more minds engage with it.

Transparency

We believe in radical transparency. Here's how we handle money:

  • ✓
    Quarterly Financial Reports

    Every three months, we publish exactly how much we received and where it went. No secrets.

  • ✓
    No Corporate Funding

    We don't accept money from AI companies, big tech, or anyone who might compromise our independence.

  • ✓
    Founder Salaries Public

    If we ever pay ourselves, you'll know exactly how much. Currently: $0.

  • ✓
    All Content Remains Free

    Your donations support creation, not paywalls. Everything we make stays freely accessible.
