Every donation goes directly toward fieldwork, transcription, and contributor support — nothing else. It costs real money to travel to a community, record with consent, and carry that recording through transcription into something searchable and lasting.

Fieldwork travel and equipment for community recording sessions. Transcription and review, including compensation for community linguists who verify what was recorded. Contributor support — the people whose voices make up the archive are never asked to give their time and language for free.
Online giving is coming soon.
