Support
$10,000 opens a room in a city that does not have one.
Venue, facilitator training, materials, outreach. That is the whole cost of giving a town somewhere its men can go every week, permanently and for free.
Every dollar in and out is published.
Donations are handled through Open Collective, where every contribution and every expense is published publicly. You can audit this organisation’s books without asking anyone’s permission.
Legacies of Men operates under a fiscal sponsorship agreement with Global Peace Media, using their 501(c)(3) status to receive tax-deductible donations legally.

Support group expansion
The annual operating target that keeps existing rooms open and opens new ones.
Give
Pick whatever is actually comfortable.
Monthly is more useful than one-off, because a room needs to still be there in March. But anything helps, and nobody is going to chase you.
No money? Still useful.
Three things worth more than a small cheque.
Give time instead of money
Facilitators, organisers, clinicians and designers are worth more to this than most cheques.
