| 19 | + Mastodon’s vision is to reimagine the social media landscape, replacing centralised platforms with |
| 20 | + robust social networking software that is inherently decentralised, open source and fully interoperable, |
| 21 | + with a commitment to privacy. |
| 22 | + </p> |
| 23 | + <p className="mt-4"> |
| 24 | + This work is made possible, in part, by donations made by individuals and organisations from around |
| 25 | + the world. Through this policy, Mastodon defines the basic guidelines governing acceptance and acknowledgment |
| 26 | + of gifts and grants to further its mission. |
| 27 | + </p> |
| 28 | + <p className="mt-4"> |
| 29 | + Any funding towards Mastodon gGmbH must be consistent with the organisation’s stated mission and purposes, |
| 30 | + and which prioritises its independence. |
| 31 | + </p> |
| 32 | + <p className="mt-4"> |
| 33 | + To ensure this, below is an outline of the criteria to reject any form of support that is counter to Mastodon’s |
| 34 | + values and would place our mission, team, integrity and movement at large at risk: |
| 35 | + </p> |
| 36 | + <ul className="mt-4 list-disc ml-8"> |
| 37 | + <li className="mt-2">Arms and weapons manufacturers and military contractors</li> |
| 38 | + <li className="mt-2">Any entities engaging in criminal activities and human rights violations</li> |
| 39 | + <li className="mt-2">Any entity that puts the organisation’s team, independence and communities at risk</li> |
| 40 | + <li className="mt-2"> |
| 41 | + An entity that puts the organisation’s brand at risk, including but not exclusively, such as adult websites, |
| 42 | + affiliate and review websites, online betting and gambling, SEO services, social media buying and other |
| 43 | + </li> |
| 44 | + <li className="mt-2">Any other statements or actions that causes the organisation to question the advisability of accepting a contribution</li> |
| 45 | + </ul> |
| 46 | + <p className="mt-4"> |
| 47 | + Mastodon gGmbH takes its funding sources very seriously. Funding is essential to adequately support its growth, |
| 48 | + but will not be allowed to compromise its values. Decisions are taken after examination of each funder and funding |
| 49 | + source. If a donor does not meet the above criteria, they will be refunded within 30 days of their donation via the |
| 50 | + original payment method where possible. |

| 54 | + <h4 className="h4 mb-6">Tax Consequences</h4> |
| 55 | + <p> |
| 56 | + Mastodon gGmbH is unable to offer tax advice to would-be donors. Donors who are concerned about tax-deductibility of |
| 57 | + donations should consult with their own tax advisers. The organisation was officially incorporated as a gGmbH (a German |
| 58 | + form of non-profit LLC) in 2021. |

| 62 | + <h4 className="h4 mb-6">Accepting Gifts-in-Kind</h4> |
| 63 | + <p> |
| 64 | + Gifts-in-kind may only be accepted by the Executive Director or by an officer delegated in writing by the Executive |
| 65 | + Director with the authority to accept such a gift. |
