Overview

Open Knowledge aims to preserve and broaden access to digital wisdom created by a global community. This initiative supports public access to open educational resources, archives, and research tools that empower educators, students, and curious minds. Donations fund the essential infrastructure that makes these resources discoverable, usable, and sustainable over time.

Our focus is clear: provide reliable hosting, thoughtful curation, and accessible interfaces that remove barriers to learning. By supporting Open Knowledge, you help ensure that knowledge remains open, navigable, and actionable for people around the world, regardless of their location or income.

Why Your Support Matters

Open Knowledge thrives when the community contributes. With your support, the project can expand access, accelerate improvements, and strengthen trust in openly shared wisdom. This work benefits learners, researchers, educators, and nonprofit partners who rely on open resources daily.

  • Expand access to open resources across languages and regions
  • Improve accessibility and inclusive design for diverse users
  • Support multilingual content and translation workflows
  • Fund reliable hosting, backups, and uptime monitoring
  • Guide transparent governance and open reporting to the community

How Donations Are Used

Funds are allocated to concrete, trackable activities. Development work focuses on adding new search capabilities, improving metadata, and refining user flows. Hosting covers bandwidth, storage, and disaster recovery planning. Outreach includes community workshops, translation sprints, and documentation that lowers barriers to participation.

We also invest in accessibility improvements to meet WCAG standards, with audits and ongoing remediation. A portion funds governance activities, including public dashboards, monthly updates, and a light-weight oversight process that invites community feedback and participation.

Community Voices

Open Knowledge provides a steady, reliable hub for educators chasing open resources. It’s where curiosity meets practical tools.
Having an open archive means ideas survive beyond platforms and trends, supporting long term learning and collaboration.

Transparency And Trust

We publish governance summaries, open metrics, and regular reporting to the community. Public ledgers and transparent budgeting ensure accountability, and we welcome audits and independent reviews as part of ongoing improvement. Our goal is to stay consistent, verifiable, and welcoming to participants from all backgrounds.
