Donations:
All of our team members have full time obligations to our employers and families. We're working on this project as unpaid volunteers and, as of yet, are unlike most other contenders because we began this comptetition with no existing corporate sponsorship. No university is financing our efforts and no major car company is providing us ready-made parts and technology.
We believe that sustainability is not only in everybody's best interest, it's everybody's reponsibility. The world cannot wait for a solution to be handed down from the existing auto manufacturers. We have to do this ourselves.
Right now our team is financing innovation out of our own pockets. Our funds will only go so far. We need your help. If sustainable mobility is something you believe in, please consider donating to our cause.
Our wish list:
- monetary donations -> whatever you can spare
- donations of goods -> from tools, parts, to even food to help fuel the team
- donations of services -> maybe your area of expertise can help us reach our goal
If you would like to donate money (even as little as a few bucks), read the following terms and, if you agree to them, click on the "Donate" button below. You will be taken to PayPal's site, where you can use your credit card to make a donation.
Terms: By clicking the "Donate" button, you understand that the money you are about to give Kevin Smith through the web site is a gift, which will be used to cover expenses associated with the building of the Illuminati Motor Works AXP vehicle. You understand that your contribution is not to be considered as an investment of any kind, nor will you be able to claim ownership interest of any kind in the resulting vehicle (whether it wins the competition or not), and you understand that you are not entitled to any share in the winnings or later proceeds the vehicle might bring. You also understand that this donation does not qualify as a charitable donation under tax laws, nor is the donation tax deductible.
Impersonal legal-ese aside, what you will receive is a Thank You on this site (see Sponsors page), the ability to say that you helped a good cause, and some good karma.
Please contact Kevin at info@illuminatimotorworks.org with any questions, suggestions, or to pledge your support.
