Support DAR Talks
Documentation is slow, and it costs money. Consent conversations take as long as they take. Verification takes longer. Translation into three languages, secure storage, and legal review all cost more than publishing quickly would.
Your support is what buys that time.
What your support pays for
These are real costs, not illustrative ones.
| Amount | What it covers |
|---|---|
| €15 / month | Documentation of one survivor testimony — the consent conversation, verification, and secure storage |
| €50 / month | One issue of The Sunday Letter, produced and translated in English, French, and Arabic |
| €200 / month | One campaign moment — letter template, graphics, briefing, and follow-up |
| €1,000 / year | One documented incident published in the public archive, in three languages, with a PDF brief and source dossier |
We account for this money in public. See Financial transparency for what we publish and when.
How to give
DAR Talks does not process payments on this site. We never handle card details, and no payment form runs on dar-talks.com. Giving happens through two third parties, each of which issues its own receipt.
Donors in France. HelloAsso processes our French donations. Tax receipts are issued automatically, and HelloAsso deducts no fee from your gift. The giving link goes live with our association registration — see below in the meantime.
Donors in the United States. Tax-deductible donations are accepted through our fiscal sponsor, the Darfur Women Action Group (DWAG), a 501(c)(3) organisation. The DWAG giving link goes live alongside the French one.
Until both links are live, write to [email protected] and we will tell you exactly how to give in your jurisdiction and what receipt you will get. Nothing about this is automated yet; a person will answer you.
Donor-advised funds, foundations, and major gifts
Write to [email protected]. We respond within two business days, and we can supply budgets, a funding proposal, and references from coalition partners.
What we do not accept
This list is a condition of the work, not a formality.
- Anonymous gifts above €5,000. We need to know who is funding documentation of a war.
- Gifts from entities materially connected to either party in the Sudanese conflict — the Sudanese Armed Forces, the Rapid Support Forces, their political bodies, or their commercial and financial intermediaries.
- Gifts conditional on editorial or campaign direction. Funders do not decide what we document, whom we name, or what we demand.
Where we have declined a gift, we say so in the annual report. We do not name the declined donor unless they have made the offer public themselves.
If you cannot give
Money is not the only thing that moves this. Take action sets out what else works — writing to the people with power, sharing the documented record, and staying with the story after the news cycle has moved on.
DAR Talks does not align with either armed party. Both the SAF and the RSF have been credibly accused of war crimes against Sudanese women. Our position is anti-violence-against-women and pro-accountability — applied without favour to either side. Your gift funds that position and nothing else.
