To preserve our independence, we are not funded by any political or industry groups, and we do not host ads. Wind Watch is kept going entirely by volunteers who receive no monetary compensation. All donations go directly to providing the information that campaigners and policy makers around the world need and rely on. But the necessary servers and bandwidth and security to handle our growing traffic get more expensive every year. If each person reading this right now gave $5, our fundraising for the year would be done in an hour.
