Donate to Preserve Open Knowledge and Free Public Access

Overview

The Open Knowledge Preservation Initiative (OKPI) is a community driven effort to keep knowledge open and accessible for everyone. This project focuses on preventing essential resources from being lost or locked behind paywalls, ensuring that researchers, students, and curious minds can learn without barriers. The goal is not just to archive content but to sustain a living, interoperable ecosystem where public access remains a core value. This page invites you to support that mission through thoughtful, durable giving.

Your donation helps fortify the backbone of open knowledge: robust hosting, reliable backups, accessible interfaces, and ongoing governance that prioritizes openness. By contributing to OKPI, you empower a global network of volunteers and contributors who believe information should be a public good. This effort aligns with the purpose of preserving what’s publicly knowable and preventing it from slipping behind gatekeeping measures.

Donations enable seed funding for new archiving mirrors, multilingual interfaces, and inclusive accessibility features that broaden who can engage with open knowledge.
