Trivian Institute is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit research and education organization. We develop TRIA as public-interest relational-governance infrastructure for increasingly persistent human–AI and multi-agent systems.
Sponsorship helps maintain the shared research and implementation layer: documentation, testing, reproducible evaluations, compatibility work, security hardening, issue stewardship, reference implementations, and independent validation.

One-time sponsorships at these amounts are also welcome. Sponsors at the $250 and $1,000 levels may opt into public acknowledgment. Acknowledgment does not imply endorsement, validation, procurement, or research partnership.
Sponsorships support the charitable research and public-infrastructure work of Trivian Institute. They do not fund Trivian Technologies, grant governance authority, influence research findings, transfer intellectual property, or convey commercial-use rights.
TRIA repositories are publicly available under repository-specific licenses. Much of the software is source-available for noncommercial use under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0; research and documentation may use separate Creative Commons terms. Commercial licensing remains a distinct, arm's-length written agreement with Trivian Institute.
As sponsorship grows, the Institute will publish concise updates describing maintenance completed, releases and evaluation artifacts produced, independent testing supported, and current priorities. We will report work performed without overstating scientific validation or promising outcomes that evidence has not established.
