The Crowdfunding Campaign

This is an experimental feature that aims to test artificial intelligence applied to our archive. The TTA's AI - Overview - Business model

We need your help

Help us to 'folk' the algorithms

{{safesubst:#invoke:string|rep|
|2}} Our non-profit mission is to document and share the world’s rich heritage of traditional tunes, and with the support of AI tools like OpenAI, we’re able to expand, organize, and bring these melodies to life for everyone.

However, the AI comes at costs.

That’s where you come in!

We’re asking our community —passionate musicians, researchers, and tune enthusiasts— to support us with a donation to keep the Archive online and AI-powered. Every dollar will go directly towards covering the cost of this year’s OpenAI bill and supporting future developments. Even a small contribution makes a big difference!

Be part of preserving musical history—donate today and keep the tunes alive for generations to come!

-Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. Not in The Traditional Tune Archive.
+However, the AI comes at costs.
-TTA is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others.
+That’s where you come in!
-When we founded The TTA, we could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but we decided to do something different. We’ve worked hard over the years to keep it lean and tight. We fulfill our mission at our best.
+We’re asking our community —passionate musicians, researchers, and tune enthusiasts— to support us with a donation to keep the Archive online and AI-powered. Every dollar will go directly towards covering the cost of this year’s OpenAI bill and supporting future developments. Even a small contribution makes a big difference!
-If everyone reading this donated, our fundraiser would be done within an hour. But not everyone can or will donate. And that's fine. Each year just enough people decide to give.
+Be part of preserving musical history—donate today and keep the tunes alive for generations to come!
-Please consider making a donation whatever you can to protect and sustain The Traditional Tune Archive.
