Donate to Build User-Powered Systems That Put People First

Overview

The User-Powered Systems Initiative is a focused effort to build infrastructure where users drive decisions and governance rather than corporations. Our goal is to create tools that respect autonomy, resilience, and transparency. By blending open source development with community governance, we aim to reduce friction between people who participate and the systems they rely on. This project exists to provide practical, usable options for data ownership, privacy controls, and consented participation in digital life. Your support helps sustain a steady cadence of design reviews, prototyping, and public documentation that clarifies how power is distributed in these systems.

Why Your Support Matters

For the User-Powered Systems Initiative to grow, consistent backing from contributors who value people over profit is essential. Donations empower teams to iterate on features that expand access, trust, and collaboration across diverse communities. This is not about a single release but about a durable path toward inclusive, user centered technology.

Sustain ongoing development and security audits to harden the core platform.
Expand community governance and open decision making so contributions are recognized and visible.
