Ways to support

Donate

Not yet available. IROPO is choosing between fiscal sponsorship and forming a nonprofit so that gifts can be tax-deductible and accounted for transparently.

Coming after fiscal sponsorship

Give in kind

Nonprofit cloud credits, pro bono legal clinics, and design or engineering time reduce how much cash the project needs.

Offer in-kind support

Sponsor or partner

Foundations, animal-welfare organizations and companies can sponsor hosting, legal review or a milestone such as a verified public beta.

What funding will pay for

From the business plan. The core registry will always be free.

Hosting and infrastructure

Today's static site runs on free hosting. A future registry needs a database, document storage and backups.

Legal review

Privacy and defamation review before any listing, plus help with nonprofit or fiscal sponsorship paperwork.

Verification

Paid or stipended reviewers once volunteer capacity cannot keep up with verification and disputes.

Outreach

Modest costs for launch materials and campaigns that bring in volunteers and partners.
