In formation — founding pledges open · no money accepted

Register a founding pledge.

Three steps, no urgency. This is a pledge of intent for the founding round — not a payment. Nothing is collected before the entity exists, and no payment details are requested. Until the entity exists, the flow operates by countersigned email.

STEP 1 OF 3

Choose a tier

Contributorfrom EUR 100 · Founding Fund · 12 mo
Supporting Sponsorfrom EUR 2,500 / rolling 12 mo · Founding Fund
Sustaining Sponsorfrom EUR 10,000 / rolling 12 mo · Founding Fund
Endowment Sponsorfrom EUR 25,000 · permanent endowment · 36 mo
Principal Endowment Sponsorfrom EUR 100,000 · permanent endowment · 48 mo

This is a pledge of intent for the founding round, not a payment. Contributor tier takes any amount from EUR 100 — name yours in the email.

STEP 2 OF 3

Identify

Your pledge email should carry:

  • Name or organization
  • Contact email
  • Public display name — optional, for the register
  • Whether to list you in the public sponsor register
  • Control-group declaration — governance tiers only

Related entities — subsidiaries, affiliates, entities under common control — count as one control group: one ballot, one influence cap. List yours in plain words; we confirm the grouping with you before anything counts.

STEP 3 OF 3

Know what you are signing

  • No financial return, token, or equity — sponsorship is a contribution, not an investment.
  • Contributor, Supporting, and Sustaining pledges fund current mission work through the Founding Fund; only Endowment tiers are expressly permanent. You may request a different permitted allocation before your pledge is accepted.
  • Influence is bounded by charter: at most 3 of 9 board seats; chair and treasurer never sponsors.
  • The Foundation is being formed as an MTÜ under Estonian law and does not yet exist. Your pledge converts to a contribution only when the entity exists and final terms are countersigned; if formation fails, it lapses and nothing is collected.
  • Final statutes, gift terms, investment policy, and tax treatment require Estonian legal and accounting review before any money is accepted.

Compose the pledge email — lead@onym.app

One email, prefilled with the fields above. Sending it commits neither side.

AFTER YOU SEND IT

What happens next

  1. You receive a countersigned receipt of intent.
  2. We notify you when the legal entity is formed — an MTÜ registered in Estonia.
  3. The first Sponsor Council communication follows.

Nothing is collected before formation. If formation fails, the pledge lapses.
