Main sponsor
Since 2001, the main financial sponsor for the has been Dr PJ Matthews, of Kyoto, Japan, and Auckland, Zealand.
Monthly costs for hosting, system, and trouble-shooting are currently $US 49.00 (an annual cost of about $US 600). This is tolerated because many beautiful things in the world are free, like this ikebana display at a train station in Osaka:
An example invoice/receipt is attached in the next section.

Member donations, and other sponsors
Any small or large donation is welcome from members, at any time!
Requests for paid advertising space will also be considered, by members or non-members, if the is relevant for our members.
Donations cannot be made tax-deductible as we are not a formally registered NPO in any jurisdiction. NPO registration and reporting costs are prohibitive as we have zero from operation of the network.
In the future, we hope that members, and advertisers will together be able to cover costs for NPO registration, development, maintenance, and promotion of the network.
To more significant progress than is possible at present, we need a budget of around NZ$10,000/year, or the equivalent in volunteer time.
Alas, we are far from achieving this, as of September, 2021 (see previous records of advertising revenue here )
In the future, members may be able to build a and use our network as a base for business, in return for a small fee. Please let me know if this idea is of interest to you.
Thanks, Peter Matthews (Chief Admin, researchcooperative at gmail dot com)
