Donate
Everything here is free, and always will be. The Local Solar System Foundation began as a project in 2017, organised, without limitation, as a DAO and through other legal and trading entities, and its founders have funded it ever since, as they still do today. We are here to share our solar system: the small blue world we live on and the worlds that turn beside it in the dark. A donation of any size helps keep the lessons, tools and research free for everyone, and helps our volunteers reach more people every year. Every donation is pre-screened and published.

One Treasury
Every donation goes to the Treasury of the Local Solar System Foundation. The Treasury keeps the project running and growing. It pays for servers, software and licences, equipment, research and testing, specialist help, and the legal and administrative work behind it all. Our volunteers give their time for free. The Treasury may pay for their expenses, or for their travel to the place where the work happens. In this way, volunteers can help without spending their own money. All donations go into one shared Treasury, and not to a single initiative. Your gift goes where it is needed most, as decided under the project's governance rules.

Pre-screened
Our deposit address is shown only after the wallet you will send from passes sanctions screening. Every donation received is reviewed before it reaches the Treasury.

Tax treatment
Donations may not be tax-deductible in your jurisdiction. Tax treatment depends on where you live, on your circumstances and on how your jurisdiction treats crypto-assets, which differs from place to place. Unless we state otherwise, we do not issue tax receipts. Please ask a local tax adviser.

Published
Every donation appears on our public page by amount, asset, date, transaction and status, without any personal data. The founders also pay many costs with their own money. That money does not go through the Treasury, so it is not on the blockchain and not on our public page.
