WikiWaste:Donate
We Are Not for Profit
<paypal></paypal> WikiWaste has similar objectives and ideals to that of Wikipedia - it does not rely on advertising or subscriptions to meet its funding requirements. Over the last 4 years, Wikiwaste has strived to provide unrestricted access to its vast repository of information to promote awareness and foster positive change. However, sustaining the platform comes with its own set of challenges, particularly in terms of operational costs and maintenance. This is where we seek your support: Become a Wikiwaste sponsor.
As an individual, if you find Wikiwaste useful and if you use it regularly, we would really appreciate a monthly donation. As a corporate company, you may want to support us in our philanthropic enterprise by sponsoring us as a one-off or on a more regular basis. As a thank you, we will acknowledge your contribution on the “Supporters” pages or more prominently on the site if you wish us to. Please get involved and become part of the ‘community’.
- You can generate content for WikiWaste. We thank you in advance for the time and effort that you will put in to ensure it continues to be a hub of useful and accessible information.
- If you don’t have the time, but have somebody within your organisation that could work with the WikiWaste team for a period under secondment, or help to develop specific content, then we would be delighted to hear from you on [email protected]
- If time and resource is not available, but you have found the website useful, then please think about making a regular or one-off donation to WikiWaste. Even small amounts will be gratefully received and for those of you that have managed to use the website for market research or to save time in your day job, perhaps you could think about a donation that reflects how useful it has been to you.
So, in summary:
- To discuss time donation and the possibilities for working more closely with us please contact us on [email protected]
- To make a donation to help sustain and develop us, no matter how small, please click on button below to our PayPal hub.
Where your donation will go
Running Costs
Web hosting, bandwidth, maintenance of uploaded databases and office costs - all incredibly tightly managed as a start-up but all the little bits mount up!
Content Development
The early stages have relied on donated time by Monksleigh[1] and other authors, and much of the content will continue to be delivered by volunteer editors from the public domain. However, staff will continue to be needed on a regular basis to develop content and add value for the users, as well as audit and moderate the content to ensure the integrity of the platform and that the Code of Conduct is being followed accordingly.
Surplus
Any surplus funds in any year will be re-deployed to Waste Aid[2].
