ChibiWawa aims to reduce pressures so Earth’s living systems can recover while humanity’s essential needs are met. Our scope is the whole interacting global system. We begin with two premises: “We all want to live, and we will never fully agree on everything.” We continually assess what we’ve done, what we’re doing, and what we intend to do by that question: Does it support life for ourselves and other life now and for generations to come?

The project starts from the premises set out in We All Want to Live, dated 7 October 2026, and carries them into how we choose, assess and revise our work.

I am organizing this fundraiser personally, with donations intended for a new, dedicated bank account for my existing ChibiWawa sole proprietorship. The account is not yet open and payout verification remains to be completed. Funds will cover the disclosed three months of personal founder support and setup of a new Dutch foundation. That foundation is planned, not yet incorporated. Part of the setup budget is for formation, legal and tax work, including pursuing ANBI recognition if eligible. This work is planned but cannot proceed without funding. No ANBI recognition or tax deductibility is claimed.

WHY THIS WORK

Energy and water are urgent first interventions, not the research framework’s foundation, viewpoint or boundaries. The aim is to address underlying interconnected problems beyond continual firefighting, without causing harm elsewhere. We compare approaches and their whole-system consequences, examine results and revise when evidence shows something is not working. Planetary recovery is an aim, not a guarantee.

WHAT THE FUNDING COVERS

The three-month working budget is €29,200 before platform fees:

• €21,600 for personal founder support: €7,200 per month before tax, covering housing, living costs and existing personal debts. No extra debt amount is added. This is a working allowance, not a verified salary or guaranteed take-home pay; tax treatment and classification still need confirmation.

• €7,600 for foundation and research setup: formation, legal and tax review, governance preparation, bookkeeping, public reporting and privacy, administration and contingency. These are provisional allowances, not supplier quotes.

Our fundraising target is €31,000: the €29,200 base budget plus €1,800 for transaction fees and a small additional project contingency. That extra contingency is separate from the contingency already included in the €7,600 setup allowance. None of the additional €1,800 is for personal founder support.

Founder support and project setup spending will be recorded separately. Initial work will take place in a dedicated workspace connected to my home. The current budget covers these overlapping premises costs once.

FIRST THREE MONTHS

• By the end of month two: target legal and operational setup, including the planned foundation, bank accounts and governing documents.

• By the end of month three: target an advisory board and independent oversight, a basic website with live public project financial reporting, and a wider funding and public-backing campaign underway.

These are targets, not guarantees. Scope and timing depend on funds raised, confirmed costs and the people involved. This campaign funds support and setup, not construction of energy or water infrastructure or a promised research breakthrough.

TRANSPARENCY WITH PRIVACY

Our target is real-time reporting of project receipts and payments, showing amounts, purposes, transaction dates and status, reporting timestamps and actual delays. Approximately ten-minute updates are preferred if the feed supports them; the reporting system is not yet implemented and no instant feed is promised.

A private reading and redaction layer will separate the public website from the bank. The website will not connect directly to a bank account. Public reporting will exclude bank identifiers and private donor details. Founder-support payments will be disclosed; subsequent personal purchases will remain private.

Supporter names will appear on our website only with separate, explicit permission. Donating does not require that permission, and a public GoFundMe name is not permission for us to republish it.

INDEPENDENCE

Donations do not buy rewards, repayment, ownership or an investment return. Donations do not buy influence, preferential treatment or control over our work. We accept funding only on terms consistent with our mission and independence, and use it for the purposes disclosed to donors.

We pledge to align decisions and spending with our stated objectives, and to explain how our actions serve them.

If this approach matters to you, please consider donating or sharing this campaign.
