Why support BLACK BOX
-
✽
Fund a deployment, not a feature.
Your contribution puts BLACK BOX in the hands of a survivor who will never be billed for it — not on a maybe, not on a subscription.
-
✽
Back the mechanism, not the marketing.
BLACK BOX is open-source under AGPL. You're not funding a pitch deck; you're funding code anyone can audit.
-
✽
Close the gap institutions can't close alone.
Grant funding moves slowly. Direct support gets a unit into a shelter's hands before the next funding cycle clears.
-
✽
Support infrastructure, not a rescue.
This isn't crisis response — it's the thing that has to already be in place before the crisis, so it's a quiet decision, not a dramatic one.
-
✽
Keep it free where it has to be free.
Every dollar here goes toward the zero-fee tier for shelters, coalitions, and tribal programs — that's the one line item BLACK BOX will never charge.
-
✽
Protect the model, not just the moment.
If the company disappears, the protection shouldn't. Support here keeps the open-source commitment funded independent of any single institutional contract.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
DescriptioBLACK BOX isn't a registered nonprofit — it's an open-source safety platform sustained by institutional licensing and direct support. Contributions here aren't currently tax-deductible. If that changes, this page will say so clearly and you'll get documentation. We'd rather tell you the truth than promise something to get your money.
-
Directly toward zero-fee licenses for shelters, coalitions, and community safety programs, and toward keeping the core platform open-source and maintained. No overhead line, no ad spend — this is a one-person operation, and every dollar goes toward getting a device into someone's hands.
-
No. Survivors never pay, under any circumstance. That's a locked commitment, not a promotional line.
-
Yes — hardware (BLE trigger devices), translation help for Japanese-language materials, and legal/privacy counsel review are the most needed right now. Reach out and we'll talk specifics.
