Earth Care Fund: built into the model
This is an operating policy, not a temporary campaign. We accrue the allocation monthly and disburse it on a quarterly cycle with public reporting.
Community-informed allocation
Paying subscribers help shape which proposals are prioritised each cycle.
Public allocation ledger
Revenue allocation, disbursement totals, and project updates are published openly.
Earth Care Fund allocations are an internal operating policy and are not represented as tax-deductible charitable donations unless explicitly stated for a specific program.
Bitcoin accepted
Permaculture values self-reliance and decentralized systems, and Bitcoin shares that ethos. No banks, no middlemen, just peer-to-peer value exchange. Steward lifetime receives a 15% discount when paying with Bitcoin.
Any Bitcoin held in reserve is reported in our quarterly transparency reports.
We accept Bitcoin as a values-aligned payment option, not as an investment strategy.
