Interference Archive receives funding through a few main channels, which include the following:
Sustainers
Since we opened in mid-2011, the archive has been supported by the generosity of individuals who sign up to give $10 to $50 per month. This sustainer base is important to us; it reminds us that there is a community of people who care about this work and believe Interference Archive should exist. Interested in becoming a sustainer?
