Overview
This independent innovation initiative exists to nurture creators and projects that choose governance and progress without traditional venture capital influence. Our aim is to build, sustain, and share open, creator-led work that prioritizes long-term stewardship, community input, and robust, user-centered outcomes.
Donations fuel the ongoing work of development, research, hosting, and community-building. By supporting this effort, you help maintain an environment where ideas can mature on their own terms—free from the pressures of external funding cycles—and where transparency and accountability are the foundation of every decision.
Why Your Support Matters
Independent innovation benefits from a steady, predictable base of support that enables careful planning, thoughtful experimentation, and open collaboration. Your contribution directly strengthens the ability to pursue ambitious goals while inviting community voices into the process.
- Sustain long‑term independence from traditional equity funding models and outside influence.
- Fund open research, security reviews, and quality assurance to protect users and contributors.
- Grow a global, inclusive community through events, mentorship, and accessible resources.
- Support transparent decision-making with public updates and metrics.
- Encourage sustainable, open collaboration that serves a broad audience of creators and users.
How Donations Are Used
We allocate resources toward core needs that sustain momentum and trust within the community. The following categories guide our planning and reporting.

Transparency & Trust
We commit to openness as a pillar of our work. Public-facing updates, accessible reports, and clear metrics help the community see where funds go and what progress is being made. We publish high-level progress summaries and maintain channels for feedback and accountability.
This approach ensures that supporters can measure impact over time and participate in a governance model that values honesty and collaboration. By prioritizing transparency, we aim to build lasting trust with contributors and partners around the world.
