  1. Web Monetization to Protect Libraries and the Digital Future: The Brick House Cooperative

    Grant for the Web

    100 000 USD

    Total amount committed

    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Maria Bustillos

    This project will allow the Brick House Cooperative to develop more partnerships for Briet, a WordPress plugin that will enable any publisher to create an ownable digital artifact compliant with digital library lending programs. We are working with the Open Library and the Internet Archive on this initiative. The result of this work will be vastly more digital publishers who can (a) control the rights and archiving of their media, (b) develop a new revenue stream from libraries acquiring their digital works to archive and lend, and (c) an unlocked value proposition for reader-supported projects, in that their donations can help publishers to produce new works, and libraries to acquire them permanently.
