We May Not Live to Enjoy the Fruits of Network Society, But Planting the Seed Is Worth It
NTARI is committed to producing federated systems that freely connect users wherever they are. We produce open-source applications that vertically integrate the administration of entire industries, speeding the transition to digital manufacturing and coordination on behalf of the working class user.
Open-source means users can freely change and distribute the products we produce. Using licenses like GNU3, we invite you to make our products better, integrate them into other projects and participate in network-based entrepreneurship.
Please, remember where you were inspired! Become a member of the Institute to participate in governance or show your gratitude and support with a monthly donation.
Your donation to the Network Theory Applied Research Institute (NTARI) directly supports the development of systems that enhance human cooperation and collective intelligence—on Earth and beyond. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, all donations to NTARI are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
Your donation also directly challenges surveillance capitalism, supports right-to-repair, and defunds big tech by funding technology that strengthens democratic cooperation instead of extraction.
How Donations Differ from Membership
Donations support NTARI's broader educational and research mission, benefiting the entire global community through open-source development and public education.
Membership ($15/month) provides direct participation in NTARI's governance, access to member resources, and involvement in organizational decision-making.
Both are valuable ways to support our mission, and many community members choose to both donate and become members.
