International Pagan Society: Foundation for Culture, Scholarship & Tradition
Why Support the Mission

Invest in the Living Custodianship of Earth-Centered Heritage

Future support may help the International Pagan Society develop responsible preservation, scholarship, public education, documentation, accessibility, and community-stewardship work. None of these programs, collections, grants, fellowships, or funded outcomes currently exist — this page explains why they could matter if they are developed.

IPS is developing its donation infrastructure.Online payments, recurring gifts, designated funds, donor accounts, receipts, and tax documentation are not currently available through this website.

Proposed Stewardship Principles

Intended Principles, Not Evidence of an Existing Program

These are principles IPS intends to follow as donation infrastructure is developed. They do not describe an existing audited donation program.

Mission-Aligned Stewardship

Any future support would be directed only toward work consistent with IPS's stated mission and existing ethical commitments.

Transparency as Infrastructure Develops

As donation infrastructure is built, IPS intends to disclose what exists, what is still being developed, and what has not yet been adopted.

Public Benefit & Responsible Access

Future preservation and scholarship work is intended to serve public and community benefit, developed with appropriate cultural safeguards.

Donor Privacy & Data Minimization

Any future giving system would be built to collect only what is necessary, with privacy practices published before it launches.

Possible Areas of Support

What Future Support Could Help Develop

These are intended areas, not existing funded outcomes. Any future work in these categories would be subject to organizational approval.

Archival Preservation & Responsible Digitization

Future support could help develop careful preservation and digitization practices for archival materials, subject to organizational approval.

Independent Scholarship & Educational Resources

Support may help develop scholarship and educational resources related to Pagan, occult, and esoteric traditions.

Documentation of Living Traditions, With Consent

Future work could document living traditions and practitioner knowledge, only with informed consent from the communities involved.

Accessibility & Public Learning

Support could eventually help develop accessible public-facing educational and archival resources.

Community Stewardship & Field-Based Research

Future work may support community stewardship activities and field-based research, each requiring its own review and approval.

Not Yet Established

A Future Sustaining Support Program

IPS may eventually create a recurring-support program after payment processing is approved, donor privacy practices are adopted, refund and cancellation policies are published, financial controls are established, and receipt and record-retention practices are approved. No fellowship, monthly patron tier, or benefits program is currently available.

Recurring Support Not Yet Available

No recurring-support program currently exists. This control does not submit or store any information.

For Organizations

Institutional Giving

Foundations, institutions, employers, and other organizations can review IPS's proposed institutional-giving and ethical-custodianship framework.
