  • For US taxpayers, donations are generally tax-deductible thanks to our 501(c)(3) status. Outside the US, tax treatment depends on your country's rules.

    Most of our budget goes directly into video production: paying artists, writers, production managers, sound designers, and other collaborators. With more funding, we can hire more people, which helps us improve the quality of our videos and release them faster.
