Peer-reviewed access fees, regulatory documents, FOIA filings, and the time to actually read them.
Strengthens the editorial firewall
Poseidon Solutions, LLC funds operations under a written editorial firewall — no funder reviews or vetoes articles. Donor support diversifies that base, so our reporting depends on readers as much as on a single funder.
Funding the next year of editorial work.
Family offices, philanthropic foundations, and donor-advised funds — we're actively raising for a 12-month unrestricted operating budget. Happy to share the editorial roadmap, the editorial firewall policy, and our operating structure under Poseidon Solutions, LLC.
The initiative is operated by Poseidon Solutions, LLC under a written editorial firewall. We publish an annual transparency report listing all donors above a low threshold (with consent) and any material changes to the firewall. See our full funding policy. Donations are not currently tax-deductible. The Water Awareness Initiative is an educational program under Poseidon Solutions, LLC — not a registered 501(c)(3). We'd rather tell you upfront than misrepresent the status of your gift.
