Support MMN
The Miraculous Medal Network is sustained through voluntary contributions that support its ongoing operation, including infrastructure maintenance, research coordination, editorial work, and contributor support. Your support enables MMN to remain independent, resilient, and accessible to all who wish to participate in or benefit from this growing archive.
All financial support is treated strictly as operational support or, where applicable, as retrospective compensation for previously incurred development and maintenance costs. It is not treated as investment, asset acquisition, or any form of transaction that would grant ownership, governance rights, or influence over the network.
Ways to Support MMN
1. Direct Donations
You can provide direct financial contributions to support MMN's operations. These donations help cover:
- Technical infrastructure and hosting costs
- Research and documentation efforts
- Editorial coordination and content curation
- Community engagement and outreach
Donation platform integration coming soon. Please check back or contact us for current donation options.
2. Resource Usage Fees
When you use MMN's curated resources—including Research articles, Digital Works, and Supply information—you can choose to contribute a usage fee that supports the ongoing creation and maintenance of these materials.
This model ensures that those who benefit from MMN's curated content can directly support its production, while keeping access open for all. Usage fees are voluntary but encouraged as a way to sustain high-quality resource development.
Payment integration for resource usage fees is currently being developed. We will announce when this feature becomes available.
3. Affiliate Medal Purchases
MMN is establishing partnerships with trusted suppliers of authentic Miraculous Medals. When you purchase medals through our affiliate links, a portion of the sale supports MMN's operations at no additional cost to you.
This approach aligns commercial activity with the network's mission: promoting access to authentic devotional objects while sustaining the infrastructure that documents and shares their significance.
Coming Soon: We are currently vetting suppliers and establishing affiliate partnerships that meet our standards for authenticity, quality, and ethical practices. Once launched, we will clearly disclose all affiliate relationships in accordance with applicable regulations.
4. Institutional Sponsorship
Organizations, parishes, religious communities, or educational institutions may provide larger-scale sponsorship to support specific initiatives within MMN, such as:
- Regional archival projects
- Multilingual expansion efforts
- Educational program development
- Technical infrastructure improvements
All sponsorships are received under the same principles of neutrality and independence. Sponsors do not gain editorial control, governance rights, or preferential treatment within the network.
Financial Transparency and Independence
MMN maintains strict separation between financial support and operational independence:
- No Ownership Rights: Contributions do not constitute equity, ownership, or claims on network assets.
- No Governance Influence: Supporters cannot direct editorial decisions, influence network architecture, or claim authority over development priorities.
- Operational Use Only: All funds are used exclusively for operational costs, infrastructure, research, and contributor coordination.
- Equal Treatment: All contributions, regardless of size or source, are received under identical terms without preferential treatment.
For a detailed explanation of how MMN maintains neutrality despite accepting financial support, please refer to our Support & Neutrality page.
Affiliate Disclosure
When affiliate partnerships are established, MMN will clearly disclose these relationships. Purchases made through affiliate links may generate commissions that support the network. We only partner with suppliers whose products and practices align with MMN's mission and standards.
Our full terms regarding affiliate relationships and commercial partnerships are outlined in our Terms of Service.
