Aerospace consulting provides the funds for developing The Martian Trust concept. Donations won't be solicited until the first licensee and first affiliate are onboard.

Establishing the first Licensees: Once the Society's brand, A Quest for our Time™, has proven value, licensees will seek out The Martian Trust. However, at the start, one or more licensees must be cultivated to establish the brand. The first licensee will be purpose-built to distribute The Martian Trust Academy™ – media produced by scientists, academics, and other researchers who deal with topics germane to the brand.

Attracting Affiliates: Universities, foundations, and research organizations can affiliate with The Martian Trust. All funds donated to the Trust Fund through an Affiliate will count toward that Affiliate’s voting power in the Senate and toward the donating Member’s Stake. Several foundations involved in space science have been identified as attractive initial Affiliates. Over the coming months, The Martian Trust concept will be presented to each.

Until The Martian Trust Academy™ is online, the only authorized media will be The Martian Trust’s Blog.
