Jounrals don't make money unless they are hugely successful. We have deliberately estimated costs high and revenue low, so as not to create any false expectations. Please contact Michael Heller , Christine Caldwell , Courtenay Young or Mark Ludwig for further information. These investors will all have an equal vote in the original founding committee of this foundation. We have computed costs, there is little planned return to the investors and so this investment will, at least for the first years, be the equivalent of a donation.
Donations are also welcome.
These will be accepted with the understanding that they do not imply a participation in the Foundation's Board. We will of course thank you publicly and nominally in the journals. Individuals and schools are of course welcome to contribute voluntarily as well. We are now creating a legal structure for this, so that donations can be tax deductible for at least some countries. Please confirm your willingness to participate, and we will inform you as soon as a minimum structure exists, so we can get started.
