# How we are funded We are operated by the community, for the community, and therefore also funded by the community. This is why we are part of the Open Collective initiative, a new way to operate community led initiatives. Anyone can donate, big or small, individual or organisation. Everything spent and raised is listed on our [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/learnersblock/) page, meaning total transparency. The video below from the Open Collective explains more: {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.learnersblock.org/about-us/how-we-are-funded.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
