What your support pays for

• Domain registration and hosting (small but recurring).
• Hours spent vetting new stores, geocoding listings, and chasing down event schedules.
• Background jobs that keep event occurrences fresh and recompute reliability daily.
• Future features the community actively asks for.

What your support doesn't buy

Nothing about how stores or events appear in the directory. No ranking advantage. No promoted placement. No editorial mention. Per the Trust Principles, payment never affects directory output. That rule applies to supporters too.

Not in a position to chip in?

The other thing that keeps the directory alive is reports.

• File a quick event report after you attend something. Reliability data is only as good as the reports behind it.
• Suggest a missing store.
• Share the directory with people who'd find it useful.
