Why give?
evolt.org is an all-volunteer organization that relies on
the contributions of its members to operate and function. Thanks in part to the generous commitment of the web community, evolt.org provides renowned resources and information without advertisements. Here is a list of some of the services we provide:- The Browser Archive
The largest browser archive available anywhere! - Articles
Articles, tutorials and news items written by our members and available free to any visitor. - List Servs
Numerous email lists to help disseminate knowledge to the web development community, and to help run evolt.org. - The Directory Project
A searchable directory containing links covering web design and development.
The opportunities and services we provide are an increasing drain on
evolt.org's limited finances. Bandwidth costs are our biggest expenditure; we currently transfer 250 GB/month, and that usage is growing. Hence, the need to ask for your help.Financial donations

snail mail if you prefer. You can donate via PayPal in US dollars no matter what your home currency.Make an automated monthly donation

you don't have a PayPal account, it's fast and easy to sign up during the registration process.Make a one-time donation

- automatic incremental one-way at-most-daily synchronisation of the Archive

We welcome many types of contributions, and recognise that not all of them
will be tangible. We value the evolt.org community members who donate their time, skills, opinions and expertise to our various list servers, articles, and administration and management demands. While evolt.org's financial needs are great, there is no evolt without those contributions.Thanks!
