This is the first Quarterly Fundraising Report for Declassify UAP, covering all revenue generated by the organization in the third calendar quarter of 2023.
This was a partial quarter for the organization, as the DeclassifyUAP.org website launched publicly at the beginning of September. A small number of early users were invited to begin testing website functionality in August. This report covers donations and merchandise sales from the last several days of August 2023, and the entire calendar month of September 2023.
It’s important to note that this report only covers gross revenue, which is a very different number than net profit/net losses. Net results will be reported annually in the organization’s Annual Financial Report. Hard launch costs for the organization have so far totaled over US$ 31,000, with zero pay received by me so far for my work conducted to date launching Declassify UAP from the start of 2023. All spend, assets, and cash on hand will be reported upon the conclusion of calendar year 2023.

While ~$500 is well under the level required for even medium-term organizational sustainability, all donations and merchandise purchases are tremendously appreciated.
4Q2023 is off to a great start, and while still well under the revenue levels described on the website’s Goals page, we are inching closer to sustainability. Thank you to everyone who’s donated, purchased merchandise, or has otherwise supported the work of Declassify UAP in any way. Even a T-shirt sale or small recurring donation gets us closer to our goal.
Stay tuned for the 4Q2023 Quarterly Fundraising Report and CY2023 Annual Financial Report, which will be published in early calendar 2024.
