Support independent research
Everything we publish is free, and stays free. Donations and grants are what make that possible without taking money from the companies whose claims we assess.
What your support pays for
Our costs are research time and the infrastructure to publish. A resource of the kind we produce — a method with worked examples, checked assumptions and external review — takes weeks rather than days, because checking the arithmetic is most of the work.
- Research and writing. The guides, methods and checklists in our knowledge base.
- External review. Getting drafts in front of people who will find the errors.
- Tools. Building and maintaining the free calculators and assessments.
- Translation. Publishing in both Bulgarian and English, properly rather than automatically.
How to give
The Foundation was registered recently and its bank account is being opened. Rather than publish a payment route that does not yet work, we would ask you to get in touch and we will confirm details as soon as the account is active.

Grants and institutional funding
We welcome enquiries from foundations, research funders and public programmes. We are a registered public-benefit legal entity, which affects the tax treatment of donations under Bulgarian law; your own advisers can confirm what that means in your case.
What we will not accept
- Funding conditional on a particular finding, framing or recommendation.
- Support from a company in exchange for assessing, endorsing or omitting its products.
- Anonymous donations above a nominal amount, which we cannot properly account for.
Accountability
The Foundation does not distribute profit. Income from any activity is applied solely to the objectives in our statute. As a public-benefit entity we file annual financial statements and an activity report with the Register of Non-Profit Legal Entities, and we publish them on our transparency page.
Other ways to help
Time is often more useful to us than money. If you can review a draft or supply real-world constraints from your own operation, that improves the work directly. Get involved →
