DAREBEE is a crowd-funded resource. What this means is that we don’t ourselves have the money to run it, we don’t have backers or big companies investing in our efforts nor do we have product placement or advertisements here. Everything you see is provided free of charge and in its entirety. This website and all of the work that goes into it are supported exclusively by its users via user donations - it is the one and only source of funds for DAREBEE. And here is why:

Accessibility for everyone is what lies at the core of this place. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are from, what your circumstances are you will find help here. We remove all of the barriers and hoops you would normally have to jump through to get to the information you need. Everything is freely provided here because we believe that by doing so we make a difference for many people all across the globe, we have a positive impact and we help make the world a better place. We help people who support us and we help those who are unable to give anything in any way, equally. 

We don’t have ads because it allows us to stay loyal to you, our audience, and your needs. Since we don’t need to get as many hits as humanly possible to generate page views and sell ad space or attract sponsorship we only cover subjects that we feel are of value. We refuse to turn people into numbers and what we do here is guided by a single motive: to be of practical use, to help those who want to get fit to do so without feeling pressured, shamed or judged. 

Our approach enables us to focus on content and the effectiveness of the information provided. Just because everything here is free, it doesn’t mean it should be low quality or done half-right. We put tremendous amount of work into each page and every poster, we often spend weeks in front of the drawing board and then again in testing our materials or researching the content we write. Our funding and our future depend upon delivering value to you.

This also means that you decide whether we stay up tomorrow, a week or ten years from now. You decide whether it’s worth keeping something like DAREBEE up on the web and we want you and you alone to be able to. 

When you support DAREBEE you also support everything DAREBEE stands for. You don’t just support it for yourself, you also support it for all those who can’t.

DAREBEE Finances In a Nutshell

DAREBEE is a crowd-funded website which means that all the funds we raise go back into the resource. 

Every month DAREBEE pays:

• Workshop rent, electricity and water bills;
• Hosting and support fees;
• Backup fees;
• Multiple software licences;
• Printing house fees;
• Salaries for work that cannot be done by volunteers.

Throughout the years we’ve been able to adjust and adapt to the rising costs of running this place. Because of everyone contributing to the project we’ve been able to continue to exist. The existence of DAREBEE is an unspoken social contract. People who can donate contribute for those who are unable to give anything but need access to this service. Every donation makes a difference not just to us but to everyone using this website.

What can I do to help?

There are several ways to donate to DAREBEE. 

One is to donate directly through PayPal, an online payment system. If you go to our “DONATE” page you will see the options there. Once you click on either it will redirect you to PayPal payment page where you can enter your details. You don’t have to have an account with PayPal, you can donate using a debit or a credit card, PayPal simply processes the payment. We don’t see any of your details nor do we store them or have access to them in any way, they are all securely processed by PayPal - one of the most secure ways to pay online. If you don't like PayPal or you are having issues with it (it's not available for all countries), you can use DonorBox. It works exactly the same way PayPal does.

Another option is to use a direct bank transfer. We use WISE to process these payments. It's an excellent service and it works worldwide. Our bank details are listed on our "DONATE" page. 

We also accept crypto currency: bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum and dogecoin . It’s extremely rare for anyone to donate using crypto but we keep it as an option. 

In addition to direct methods we have books and apps you can purchase. None of the materials in either is any different from the materials already available here for free but it gives you an alternative way to donate to the resource if PayPal, Donorbox or crypto is not for you. 

You can buy a book (all books from DAREBEE are listed here) from any local bookstore or Amazon. The prices for the books are set by the bookstores, we don’t control them. You pay production cost, store fees & shipping - DAREBEE makes only $1 from each sale. It’s more expensive to buy a book and only a dollar goes back into the project but you get to own an actual DAREBEE book. Our books make nice gifts - and help more people discover DAREBEE offline.

Our apps are all free but you can always buy a paid version of the same one - we make roughly $0.50 from each one. 

I already donated, what else can I do?

You can help us even more by telling other people about us. The more people know about DAREBEE, the higher our chances to make it through the week, month, year. With every donation you vote for DAREBEE, and resources like DAREBEE, to be part of the internet of tomorrow. You decide whether we will be here a year or 10 years from now. You decide whether we vanish or stay and develop further. Your vote counts and it matters and with enough people casting theirs it will make a difference.

The more people find DAREBEE, the higher chances the resource has to make it and grow. Apart from telling your friends and family about it you can also help us spread the word through social media (Twitter, Pinterest & Facebook) and take a moment to leave a review on any of our apps or paperbacks. Highly rated apps and paperbacks allow more people to see them and find out about us. It will take you about 30 seconds to leave feedback but it will mean a more secure future for the DAREBEE resource. 

Thank you so much for supporting the resource and for making this place possible!
