Wiretapped and AusMac operate primarily on the personal funds that I am able to divert into it. But it would not be here today without the assistance of a number of people and organisations who have donated money, equipment, services or their time since we began in August 1999 (AusMac began in 1995). This page exists so I can express my thanks for their help, and to encourage others to consider helping in the future.- Grant

Donations:
Wiretapped and AusMac are constantly being improved, and we do often have bills to pay, including those related to getting access to the Wiretapped server at AAPT, and upgrading the server hardware approximately every 12 months.
