Update! Allocation of Undesignated Funds Gifted to Lead Safe Mama, LLC via GoFundMe & Patreon through April 21, 2025

Published April 21, 2025 — Monday
Funding Update

Hello again, friends!

Over the past three months Lead Safe Mama, LLC has received $4,991.15 in undesignated support from two combined sources:

1. Our general support gofundme campaign (a campaign that has been up for more than eight years and has raised a total of $43,374 in support of Lead Safe Mama, LLC’s work during that time) and…
2. Our Patreon paid subscriber base.

In continuation of our practice in using gifted funds to help cover the costs of testing and reporting on campaigns for products nominated by the Lead Safe Mama online community that have not-yet-funded, we are allocating the recently contributed undesignated funds as noted in the spreadsheet graphic below. 

• The graphic below is an updated version of our draft allocation of funds for April 2025 posted earlier this month.
• The graphic below is our current draft plan for applying these funds, although the allocation may change slightly over the coming weeks (per the notation on the graphic below).
• If any of the “pending” campaigns receive more donations before their lab reports are published, we will be able to adjust budgets a bit and re-allocate some of the funding to other pending campaigns not currently listed.

Thank you to everyone who contributed via our GoFundMe and to our Patreon base for helping make this testing and reporting possible! If you are coming across this article sometime after April 21 and you would like to see the latest update on our use of these gifted funds, please click here.

If you would like to join the generous individuals  who made all of this possible — by also supporting the work of Lead Safe Mama, LLC with un-designated gifted funds (so we can apply money where it is most needed) — please consider contributing at this link OR joining us on Patreon with a monthly gift, here. We also accept contributions in support of the work via PayPal (TamaraRubin@mac.com), Venmo (@TamaraERubin, 3182), and Zelle (503-702-2708).

As Lead Safe Mama, LLC is not a 501(c)3 nonprofit, contributions are not tax-deductible, however we do rely on undesignated contributions to help cover a portion of the costs for the work we do. This means your gifts are very much appreciated by everyone in the Lead Safe Mama community. Undesignated gifts are always used to help cover costs incurred in expanding our database of publicly available scientific test results that help people (around the world!) make informed decisions for their families.

Thank you!
