+# About Us
+
+We're here to help support and maintain a sustainable ecosystem of funding for free and open source projects and contributors, especially Bitcoin related projects and projects which help Bitcoin flourish.
+
+- For Bitcoin and other free and open source software to thrive, we believe it takes contributors from a variety of backgrounds and industry verticals.
+  - OpenSats will fund software developers, but also designers, reviewers, researchers, educators, and others who support these free and open source tools.
+- Bitcoin relies on many complementary technologies to succeed and reach its fullest potential.
+
+  - OpenSats is committed to funding Bitcoin as well as these technologies on the periphery including scaling technologies, secure communication protocols, self-custody solutions, second-layer tech, educational resources, research and design contributors, etc.
+
+Free and open source Bitcoin projects as well as related free and open source projects which help Bitcoin flourish and reach its fullest potential may apply to be listed on the Open Sats website here (link)
+
+Bitcoin projects and free and open source contributors may also apply for grants from our general fund here (link)
+
+We think there's a major free rider problem in the free and open source contributor space and hope that funding those who give back will improve the tech and talent in the space long term. Our platform aims to connect donors to free and open source contributors by enabling anyone to explore our catalog of board reviewed and vetted projects and suggest donations go to the projects of their choice... or to a general fund which will distribute grants on a quarterly basis to qualifying and vetted grant applicants.
+
+OpenSats is committed to providing a platform with no fees and 100% passthrough of all donations to projects and the general fund made via our platform.
+
+OpenSats will accept bitcoin and fiat donations. All fiat donations will be converted to bitcoin and all grants will given to FOSS projects and grant recipients in bitcoin. Our banking, exchange, and donor partners have allowed us to ensure that we give every cent or sat donated to free and open source contributors.
+
+No donations will be used by the organization unless the donor SPECIFiCALLY donates to our operational fund, which covers our general operational expenses like legal, accounting, and payment processing fees. So far these operational expenses have been covered by a few generous donors and we hope to continue to find private donors to cover these costs so we can ensure 100% passthrough of platform donations to Bitcoin and free and open source contributors. Literally nobody in the organization makes any money from donor funds which aren't specifically earmarked for OpenSats' operations... we promise! OpenSats is committed to being transparent about incoming and outgoing project related donations as well as any operational donors as we move forward.
+
+- Projects will be listed on Open Sats website upon a simple (5-4) majority approval by the board. The board will consider donor suggestions for project specific donations, however, the board will retain full control and final authority over where funds are allocated.
+- Grants allocated from the general fund will be determined by a simple (5-4) majority approval by the board.

+# FAQ
+
+- What are you doing at OpenSats?
+  - We are a 501(c)(3) public charity which aims to fund Bitcoin-related free and open source projects and associated education and research initiatives.
+
+We want to see contributors to Bitcoin Core and FOSS (free and open source) tools supported by a sustainable ecosystem and consistent funding, so we set up a platform to do just that. Donors can come to the OpenSats web platform and either recommend gifts to specific project areas or contribute to our general fund.
+
+We distribute grants to a wide variety of contributor types (developers, designers, researchers, educators, reviewers...), but only to those working on Bitcoin and open-source projects that will improve public access to Bitcoin infrastructure.
+
+- How are funds distributed?
+  - Donations to the **general fund** will be distributed quarterly by our board. We evaluate and assess applications to make sure any grants are awarded to high impact projects in the Bitcoin space.
+  - We also maintain a list of mission-focused, open-source projects that have been vetted by our board members for continuous funding. Donors may recommend their gifts be directed to these specific projects; Open Sats will consider these recommendations but will retain sole discretion as to how funds are distributed.
+- How much of my donation goes towards individuals and projects supported by Open Sats?
+  - All donations to the **general fund** and specific, mission-aligned FOSS projects are 100% passed through to Open Sats grant recipients. We try our best to find donor matching partners to ensure that no transaction fees are withheld regardless of payment method (thanks to our generous donors) \<—- link donor page
+- Do you distribute grants in bitcoin or fiat?
+  - We only distribute grants in bitcoin.
+  - We accept donations in fiat currency, but they are transferred to our exchange partner and used to purchase bitcoin. The bitcoin is then held and eventually distributed to project and grant recipients.
+- How do you collect bitcoin donations?
+  - We use BTCPay Server to collect bitcoin on chain and lightning donations. This ensures that we pay no processing fees and your funds are stretched even farther.
+- How can I communicate with you?
+  - Funding opportunities are announced once per year, depending on funding availability. Projects that align with our mission statement are encouraged to apply. Board members evaluate each application based on technical merit, potential impact, and the team's ability to execute.
+  - All projects should be free and open source and related to Bitcoin or an ancillary technology (like Tor, etc.) which helps Bitcoin use. Your project must align with the mission of our charity to be eligible for donations.
+- How do I become listed on the site?
+  - Any project that is free and open source and is aligned with the OpenSats mission are free to [submit an application](http://opensats.org/apply) for their project to be listed on the [OpenSats website](http://opensats.org/explore)
+  - All applications which fulfill the criteria will be evaluated by the Board. Upon board approval and collection of necessary supplemental data, approved projects will be listed on the OpenSats project portal. Donors will be able to contribute funds and recommend that the OpenSats' board considers their donations be allocated towards these pre-approved, mission-aligned projects.
+  - If you are helping Bitcoin and FOSS, please [submit an application](http://opensats.org/apply) (LINK) to be listed on our site.
+- How did you choose the board?
+  - We didn't want any one person or small group to have control of the decision making process of OpenSats, so we created a transparent, public-facing, and accountable nine person board to make all organizational decisions.
+  - OpenSats' board members have deep-seated values and will stop at nothing to support and ensure the survival of free and open source technology like Bitcoin.
+  - The board is composed of well-known and respected public-facing individuals who will carry the torch and be held accountable for their choices. We encourage community feedback, dialogue, and constructive criticism. We can only promise to do our best to ensure that all funds go to deserving projects which support OpenSats' mission of creating a sustainable and consistent ecosystem of funding for Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related FOSS contributors.
+  - We are committed to being 100% passthrough for all donations made on our platform. To this day our operational, legal, and payment processing fees have been graciously and privately funded.
+  - Please consider donating to the OpenSats operational fund (LINK) which will help cover our basic operational expenses (which we have kept to a minimum) so we can ensure that all donations intended for Bitcoin and FOSS projects remains 100% passthrough.
+- Tell me more about your board. How does it work?
+  - We have nine board members and we vote by majority. All standard decisions (like which new projects are added to the website or which projects will receive grants allocated from the general fund) are made by simple majority (5-4), while board-related changes will require 6-3 majority. New members to the board will be announced publicly.
+- Are you really 100% passthrough?
+  - Yes, really. No one on the board makes any money. We pay our lawyers and have some basic costs like email services and operational tools, but they aren't paid from your donations: our costs are covered by generous donors who support our organization's operations.
+    - John Pfeffer, Greg Foss, Ten31, and The Bitcoin Company have contributed to our legal and operational overhead or contributed technical development resources so OpenSats can stay 100% passthrough for all general fund and project specific donations.
+    - Silvergate bank has provided fee free banking services
+    - NODL Cloud is providing our website hosting
+    - BTCPay Server is a FOSS tool we use to accept bitcoin with no fees.
+    - River provides our bitcoin exchange services with no added fees.
+    - Ledger and The Bitcoin Company both help cover payment processing fees associated with debit and credit card donations as well as some transaction fees related to our on-chain and off-chain movement of funds.
+- Are my donations tax deductible?
+  - Yes, Open Sats Initiative, Inc. (EIN 85-2722249) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, All gifts and donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
