Why is IwillifWecan needed?

IwillifWecan is needed for situations where:

• many people...
• wish a project could get the funding it needs, and...
• would contribute a modest monthly donation,
• but don't because what they, as one individual, can afford...
• wouldn't make much difference.

Iwillifwecan is needed for ongoing projects that:

• cannot readily get adequate funding without it because their...
• free/libre/open values of digital freedom, openness, sharing, democracy, and privacy are...
• incompatible with getting funding using paywalls, ads, surveillance, DRM, or other forms of artificial scarcity or restrictions on users' freedoms and privacy.

For example, projects that create and maintain free/libre/open:

• Software
• Research
• Music
• Art
• Educational materials
• Journalism
• Books
• Plays
• Films
