Funding policy

Pledged accepts contributions only from individual readers. Quarterly funding statements — amounts received, amounts spent, and contributors over $200 with consent — are published on this page.

This policy is structural, not aspirational. Refusals are recorded and listed below alongside accepted contributions.

We refuse contributions from

  • Registered political parties, candidates, and parliamentarians
  • Registered lobbyists and government affairs firms
  • Organisations with active campaigns to influence Commonwealth legislation
  • Anonymous contributions over $100

Refusals are logged and published with each quarterly statement.

Contributors over $200

None to date. Contributions over $200 will be listed here with the contributor's name and the date received, where consent is given. Contributors who decline to be named are aggregated into a single line.

How to contribute

In progress. Donation channels are being set up and will open once configured. Pledged will not use creator-economy platforms (Patreon, Buy Me a Coffee, Ko-fi); see methodology for the rationale.
