We are proud to announce that the Long Now Foundation will be joining with us to co-produce and partially fund the launch of the 10-screen Global Lives installation in San Francisco in late 2009 or early 2010.

Donate to the Global Lives Project
Donations from individuals consitute nearly half of the funds that we've raised to date and we continue to need them to survive. As an organization with no full-time staff, and an onslaught of hundreds of volunteers from dozens of countries wanting to get involved, we need funds now more than ever to build up our organizational capacity and infrastructure. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit and US donations are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by law. Donate now>>
