How Ferndrop is paid for
A sponsor pays for running Ferndrop. Whatever is left after costs goes to planting trees.
What happens to the money
What we call profit
What the sponsor pays, minus what it costs to run the site.
Who gets it
A tree-planting organisation, not us.
Proof
For each payment we post who got it, how much, and the receipt. See the numbers and receipts.
Who plants the trees
Tree-planting organisations do the planting. We’ll name ours here after the first payment.

Looking inside your files
New browser uploads are end-to-end encrypted. We can remove reported transfers without reading their contents.
