Fundraiser structure

Due to the generosity of our present Strategist, Jim Burton, annual Newgon and Yesmap hosting costs will be paid up to at least 50%, and in all probability paid in total. If the fundraiser outstrips all expectations and reaches 50% of total hosting costs (of all supported properties), any further funds will go towards a charitable donation – supporting other important sites such as Ipce.info, or kept in reserve if requested.

Any larger donation can be immediately transferred into an allocation of physical gold if requested (at the present exchange rate), and kept on hand for future efforts. Our preferred vehicles are Monero and Gold/Silver/PGMs.

If you wish to donate directly to activist initiatives (or have something in mind, such as financial support for a researcher or writer), please email us, when you make your donation.

In July 2023, Jim donated a gram of gold to Newgon's reserve fund.

Expenditure

Strategist (Jim Burton) presently pays almost every bill associated with Newgon's supported projects such as the Yesmap server. This may change, as we look to enter the social space with new supported initiatives, but unless a large benefactor can be found, we are likely to be reliant on him.

We have spent small amounts of Monero in 2022 and 23 - typically $20 dollars worth per batch of Twitter accounts, or to top up our SMS verification account. Present Monero donations support FST hosting costs, and might (very rarely) be used to buy accounts/SMS verification credit.
