What this policy adds

• It makes the support boundary public so readers do not have to guess whether sponsor money can shape interpretation or trust pages.
• It protects content value by separating educational support from historical conclusions, correction work, and source review.
• It gives families, teachers, and readers a visible rule set for what this project will and will not monetize.

What sponsors can support

• Field-guide maintenance.
• Classroom-kit preparation.
• Archive and learning-path design work.

What sponsors cannot influence

• Historical conclusions.
• Source selection.
• Terminology warnings.
• Corrections handling.

Rejected categories

• Identity-certification products.
• Legal-status shortcuts or pseudo-legal claims.
• Miracle-origin or supernatural proof products.
• Tribal-status promises.
• Predatory offers aimed at schools or families.

Near-surface disclosure examples

Disclosure belongs below educational framing on eligible pages and never inside source appendix, terminology warning, or corrections sections.

Privacy and no-PII rule

No partner receives reader-level classroom data or personal data as part of this support model.

What a reader should leave with

A reader should leave knowing where sponsor support is allowed, where it is blocked, and why FOBA keeps editorial trust signals outside commercial influence.
