How you can help keep IFTAS going:

1. Spread the word: Raising awareness about our funding challenges can help us connect with potential funders, partners, and supporters.

Share our fundraising overview (https://about.iftas.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2024-2025-IFTAS-Overview.pdf).

We know most funders cannot move quickly, so for now, we are accepting pledges.

Boosts really help if you don't know anyone personally.

2. Pledge a donation: If you or your organisation can contribute financially, let us know. We are not accepting donations at this time, but we will take your pledges to see if we can reach our #funding goals.

We need pledges by February 28 so we can make an informed decision about our next steps.

3. Connect us with potential funders: If you know of philanthropic organisations or individuals interested in trust and safety for decentralised communities, we would love to connect.

If you know anyone going to #RightsCon who might be a good connection, tell us.

4. Advocate for trust and safety funding: The broader trust and safety field needs more sustainable funding mechanisms.

By advocating for increased support for this work, we can help ensure that independent communities are not left behind.

5. Vote with your feet: Use social networks that are well-moderated and bring you the safety you need online.

Support that service financially if you can.

Say “thank you” to your moderators.
