Keeping LOAM going
Support LOAM
LOAM is free, open source, and kept up to date by a small team of three. The funder pack is reviewed by hand every month, so that what you read here has had human eyes on it. If it helps you move money to where it belongs, here are the ways to keep it going.
You never need to pay to use LOAM. These are simply a few ways to help the work continue, if and when that feels right for you. LOAM never receives or stores your card details.
Support the work
A one-off or monthly gift helps cover the hosting, the careful monthly reading behind the funder pack, and the time needed to keep it useful and trustworthy.
Pay what you can — one-off or monthly
Sponsor a funder
Anyone can ask for a funder to be added. If the timing is urgent, sponsoring the research gives me the space to take it on within a week. Once it joins the pack, it stays there for everyone.
Your organisation can be thanked in that month's changelog, if you would like. The sponsored and free routes both grow the same shared pack.
We will agree the assignment together first, then I will invoice you directly so your details do not pass through another marketplace.

A shared map
Network packs
For networks, coalitions and funds that want to keep a thoughtful eye on the donors their members meet. Each pack is revisited every month, with the time for deeper reading and attention to how an institution's language is moving.
5 funders
A small, shared shortlist for the donors your members return to most often.
$100 a year
or $25 a quarter
12 funders
A wider working map for a coalition following several paths at once.
$220 a year
or $55 a quarter
20 funders
A fuller landscape for a large network or pooled fund to keep close.
$340 a year
or $85 a quarter
Choose a year, or divide it across four quarters — whichever sits more gently within your budget cycle.
More than 25, or something shaped differently? Let's talk it through.
Any public knowledge gathered along the way also returns to LOAM's open pack, where it can be useful to everyone. A network pack supports the time and care for a deeper look; it does not make that knowledge exclusive.
We will shape the assignment together first, then I will invoice your organisation directly. LOAM does not receive card details; your bank or payment provider still handles what is needed to complete the transfer.
The Fundermental
A short note written by a person each month, gathering the changes that may matter: new language, new calls, strategy moves and the quieter early signals.
$8 a month, or $80 a year
Deep dives
When one funder needs more attention, I can make a close, public-sources profile for the pitch or decision in front of you. We will agree the question together, and I will read the final work before it reaches you.
This is arranged as a direct assignment and invoiced to your organisation, rather than passing your details through a marketplace.
Priced as a day of work
Language packs
The pack should be able to travel in Spanish, French, Portuguese and other languages. Language should not decide who gets access to useful knowledge.
A gift marked “language” helps pay translators for that work. Every language pack it makes possible will be shared freely, just like the rest of LOAM.
A donation, not a product — give what you can
What LOAM will never do
- Never collect anything about individuals.
- Never store your organisation's data on a server.
- Never gate features behind payment.
- Never sell or licence the pack.
- Never take money from funders to be listed.
This list is part of the support page because it is part of what you are supporting.
