Overview

This initiative, Support Technology Aligned with Human Values, seeks to guide how software, hardware, and data practices reflect human-centered principles. The goal is to make complex technology decisions transparent and accessible, so communities can participate in shaping the tools they use every day. By combining open source tooling, practical documentation, and inclusive discussion spaces, we empower people to understand and influence technology trajectories.

Through thoughtful design and collaborative governance, the project translates technical ideas into actionable guidance. Donations allow us to sustain core work, maintain essential infrastructure, and expand learning opportunities for newcomers and seasoned contributors alike. Your support helps ensure ongoing development with a clear, values driven focus. ๐Ÿ’ก

Why Your Support Matters

In a world where software and devices shape nearly every aspect of daily life, aligning technology with human values is essential. The project aims to make technical concepts approachable and to foster inclusive collaboration. Your contributions directly sustain core development, community education, and open discussions that lead to practical outcomes. For Support Technology Aligned with Human Values, your generosity translates into better tools, clearer guidance, and more inclusive access to critical knowledge. ๐ŸŒฑ

How Donations Are Used

Donations are allocated with a focus on lasting impact. A portion supports development sprints that add features and fix issues in a transparent backlog. We cover hosting, domain and infrastructure expenses to keep services available. Another portion funds accessibility enhancements including keyboard and screen reader support, as well as captioned documentation. Resources are reserved for translation, outreach, and community events that invite broad participation. Finally, independent audits and governance activities help maintain accountability and trust.

All expenditures are tracked in public reports and a lightweight funding ledger. When possible, we publish quarterly updates with a concise breakdown of milestones, challenges, and next steps. This approach keeps funding visible and auditable for everyone invested in the project. ๐Ÿ’ฌ
