Contribute > Suggested Licensing Fees and Donations
Everything related to the development of this information was privately funded with the time and financial resources of a small handful of small business people who work outside of the bookkeeping and accounting industry. Only one donation of $330 or so was given during our start up process by one of only a few folks who took enough interest to pickup a dialogue. The contributors for this have worked as an informal team with no contractual agreements and no guaranteed monetary rewards. Global Financial Literacy has been our overarching goal and our intention is to continue to build out education and software systems with voluntary financial support from our global community. May your conscience and karma be your guide.
