Bloom Directory Fund

Nobody can buy a listing.
Somebody has to fund that.

A directory is only as trustworthy as the money behind it. The Bloom Directory takes no paid placements, no sponsored rankings, and no advertiser money — which means the auditing that makes it worth trusting has to be funded by people who simply want it to exist.

Support This Work

What this fund builds.

  • Independent audits — real people verifying whether a place is actually affirming and actually accessible, scored separately and never averaged into one flattering number
  • Auditor training, so every audit is done to the same standard before a single note is published
  • The auditor portal and the public record — the software that makes every score traceable
  • Re-audits over time, because a directory that is accurate once and never again is a trap

Bloom Directory Fund

This fund is being wired up. Every other fund is open at the giving page.

Honest about the stage

The scoring standard, the institutional pages, and the audit engine are built. The auditor portal and the first verified Oregon listings are the current work. This fund is what moves a listing from “submitted” to “verified.”

The line that never moves

Being listed is free and cannot be purchased — not now, not ever. If that line ever moved, the Directory would be worthless. Funding it independently is how the line holds.
