TEIKEI is a long-term, transformative structure in development. Donations are therefore not primarily intended to enable day-to-day operations but rather help where developmental steps are needed that have a major impact on the network but cannot yet be reasonably factored into the ongoing price.
The daily processes of ordering, coordination, and distribution continue as usual. Donations are used where new functions, tools, and infrastructural steps are created that strengthen and further develop TEIKEI as a whole.
Donations flow in particular into the development and expansion of the TEIKEI Agora and its functions. This includes developments that do not only serve individual orders but create the foundation for more communities to emerge, more farms to be integrated, and more value to flow directly back into agricultural practice.
Examples include:
Part of today’s TEIKEI infrastructure could only be created because people placed trust early on and supported the development through donations and interest-free loans. This not only allowed for future planning but also created tangible substance.
Already enabled, among others:
TEIKEI Agora 1.0
The first viable stage of the Agora was built on the basis of donations and interest-free loans. It forms the foundation for many processes on which current and future developments are based.
Bottling campaigns
Community-related tools and practical formats on the Agora could also be co-developed. This includes functions and structures that support the organizational aspects of bottling campaigns.
Swedish Agora
The development of the Swedish Agora, as well as the necessary linguistic translation and localization, were also made possible through this form of support.
Harvest planning, wizard logic, and scenarios in the TEIKEI Agora
Key components of the further development toward Agora 2.0 have already been integrated and are partly still being refined.
Prototype Supply Space
The development of new spatial supply logistics and regional coordination approaches was also initiated through this support.
These examples show that donations and interest-free loans do not just help with new ideas. They have already produced very concrete tools, platform areas, and development stages that are effective in the network today and support further development.
Donations currently enable the further development of specific functions within the TEIKEI Agora. These developments form the basis for the network to grow, become more stable, and have a greater impact on agricultural practice.
A central role is played by the advancement to the next system stage:
In addition, further functional areas are being developed step by step and will later be described on their own pages:
These functions interconnect and do not work in isolation. Together, they create the foundation for TEIKEI as a network to grow stably and for more value to reach farms and communities directly.
Especially in the current phase, even relatively small amounts can have a major impact. With €10,000, developmental steps can be enabled today that can later trigger significant scaling effects in the network.
This means concretely:
More communities can be built.
Greater regional depth becomes possible.
More farms can be integrated into sustainable structures.
And in the long term, a larger share of the total price can go to the farms.
Donations therefore do not simply help maintain what already exists but make developmental steps possible that have an impact on many levels within the network.
Currently, TEIKEI does not have the ability to issue donation receipts.
If you support TEIKEI, this is done with the awareness that your support flows directly into the development of community-driven structures, tools, and processes, but cannot currently be certified as a tax-deductible donation.
Another way to financially support TEIKEI is currently by directly covering specific costs incurred in TEIKEI’s work.
If you would like to support us in this way, you can simply send an email to finanzen@teikei.us and request a suitable invoice. It is helpful if you also mention the approximate amount you can cover.
You will then usually receive an invoice within a short time, which you can pay on behalf of TEIKEI. If necessary and possible in the specific case, the invoice address can also be adjusted accordingly.
For us, this is currently one of the most direct forms of support because specific costs are covered immediately, providing relief exactly where it is needed.
If you have questions about donations or would like to coordinate your support individually, feel free to contact us.
We are open to exchange—whether it’s about one-time contributions, larger support, or collaborations.
On this page, you will find all contact options and ways to get to know us better.
The specific processing is currently handled directly via the following channels:
👉 Germany
👉 Switzerland
