OmniCORE exists to make preparedness knowledge free and useful for everyone. People act on our guidance when it matters most, so we want you to know exactly how OmniCORE is paid for, and what money can and can’t change.
Today
OmniCORE is self-funded by its steward. The site, the library and everything else you see here are paid for by UpRiver Holdings LLC, which stewards OmniCORE.
- No ads, and no advertising trackers
- No affiliate links, sponsorships or paid placement
- No paywalls: every plan, guide and worksheet is free to read online and to download as a PDF, under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license
Optional reader support
If you find OmniCORE useful and want to help, you can support it at ko-fi.com/omnicore.
- It’s entirely optional. Supporters get nothing extra, just our thanks. Everything stays free for everyone.
- It never affects what we recommend. Support has no say in what OmniCORE writes or recommends.
- It isn’t a tax-deductible donation. Support goes to UpRiver Holdings LLC, which is a company, not a charity.
- We never see your payment details. Ko-fi and its payment processor handle them. See our Privacy Policy.
Where support goes
Any money OmniCORE receives is reinvested, in roughly this order:
- Keeping the site and library running and free
- Better content: expert review of medical, electrical and safety guidance, testing, translations and accessibility
- Free printed copies and workshops for communities that need them
- Helping new community groups get started
Once a year, we’ll publish a short note here summarizing what came in and how it was used.
Our commitments
- Recommendations are made on merit, using written criteria, never because a product pays us.
- Any change to how OmniCORE is funded is announced on the blog before it happens, and this page is updated at the same time.
- Essential safety knowledge stays free. Always.
If you have a question about any of this, write to us at hello@omnicore.blog.
