Fuel the fire.
We operate in the open, under CC0. Every cent goes to research, documentation, legal fights, maps, gear for builders, and keeping this site alive.
TL;DR
Fastest, cheapest, most permissionless: Bitcoin, Lightning, and Monero — addresses live, QR codes below. Also accepted: GitHub Sponsors, Liberapay, Ko-fi, Open Collective, and SEPA bank transfer. Links go live as each rail is verified — if one is missing, it's coming.
Bitcoin, Lightning & Monero
No gatekeepers. No country restrictions. No reversals. Scan, paste, send. Every sat goes to research, legal work, documentation, and builders on the ground.

Grants, stipends & NGOs
The running list of funders we're tracking — grants, fellowships, and NGOs whose missions align — lives in the repo as funding-leads.md. Anyone can suggest a funder: open an issue tagged funding or email freetobuildmovement@gmail.com.
What the money funds
- Legal research — jurisdiction maps of adverse possession, allodial titles, and unclaimed-land law
- On-the-ground documentation — travel stipends for builders claiming and documenting real land
- Software & maps — an open registry of claimed plots, cadastral overlays, and hosting
- Design & media — translations, videos, signage, posters, PDFs (yes, the press pack)
- Nothing goes to salaries for founders. Transparent books on Open Collective.
Become a fiscal host or legal partner
We're evaluating fiscal hosts (Open Collective, OFTW, Fiscal Sponsorship Allies, and regional equivalents). If you run a foundation, association, or cooperative and want to host us — please reach out.
Small donations, giant reach.
A coffee's worth buys a megaphone. A dinner's worth buys a survey. A plane ticket's worth buys a lawyer-hour.
