Principle 14: Donation-Only

⚠️ Source numbering drift — duplicate label. Source v3 labels both this statement and the multiple-homes statement as “14.” See also principle-14-containers. The team’s intent is two distinct statements; the duplicate is a renumbering artifact. A future renumber will be a wiki-wide operation touching every [[principle-N]] cross-reference across wiki/, plus any string references in purpose.md and the source docs in raw/. Do not silently renumber — coordinate.

We are donation-only. No fees gate access to the practice or the fellowship.

Commentary

No money gate on participation. Practice and fellowship membership are not purchasable. Foundational to keeping the practice accessible regardless of means.

Status notes

v3, ready for team review.

Source confirmations

v5 strategy draft (raw/EPI_Expansion_Strategy_v5.docx.md) is an independent source asserting the same content. Section “Money”: “Donation-based, explicitly. No fees from EPI, ever.”

This is archival corroboration — a different voice and a different context arriving at the same statement. Worth noting for the eventual ratification pass.
