Support the work

Fund a unit, not a pitch deck.

We don't sell findings or access. What you can fund is bounded, public-good work with your name on the acknowledgment line — and the same published result everyone else gets.

Sponsorable units

Three ways in, each with a hard edge.

Bounded scope, bounded budget, in writing. The bands are introductory and stated in the open — we’d rather you know before you email.

$10K–$40K

Sponsor a plain-language explainer

Underwrite one explainer from sourcing through human verification and open CC-BY publication.

The explainer publishes openly, with sponsorship acknowledged and zero editorial input — that's in writing.

$10K–$25K

Fund a record increment

Extend the open incident record — new verified rows, deeper sourcing, a new sector coded.

The data stays public, dated, and citable. Funders are listed; findings aren't for sale.

$5K–$20K introductory

Sponsor an immersive scenario

Underwrite a crisis tabletop — an anti-satellite (ASAT) strike, a debris cascade, a GPS-denial event — for a delegation, committee staff, or an allied training cohort that couldn't otherwise budget it.

The room keeps its after-action record; the scenario joins the open catalogue, free for everyone who comes next.

The independence terms

What sponsors get — and don’t.

Sponsors receive

Public acknowledgment on the funded artifact
A bounded scope, timeline, and budget in writing
The same report everyone gets — published openly

Sponsors don’t receive

Editorial influence over findings, framing, or sources
Early or exclusive access to results
Advocacy on your behalf — we don't take positions

Individual gifts

Small gifts welcome too.

Donations keep the explainers, scenarios, and record free for students, educators, and public-interest staff. No campaign, no thermometer graphic — and honestly, the rails below are old-school. Email us and we’ll make any of them painless.
