Precious metal recovery
Livelihood and land
Sustainable recovery solutions that create economic opportunity while protecting the environment in developing regions.
M&W FoundationMicro donations. Working devices.
Programs
Three lines of work. One funding path.
Raise one dollar to one hundred thousand dollars per project through crowdfunding. Support precious metal recovery, battery disposal, and critical humanitarian prototypes. The same model funds each line: research, donated hardware, field trial.
Program 01
Micro-donation project funding
Small donations fund what large organizations often cannot start quickly. Crowdfunded gifts of one dollar to one hundred thousand dollars per project pay for the early work: consulting, materials, shipping, and the first devices in the field.
The Foundation is a resource hub for that work. It is not a retail storefront and it does not sell a catalogue of devices.
Program 02
Prototype laboratory with MD-HUB
MD-HUB LLC provides design, engineering, and training. When consulting is funded, MD-HUB donates finished prototype devices. Materials and shipping are reimbursed via donation receipt. Hardware and labor on those donated devices are not charged.
That is how a modest campaign produces a physical object instead of a slide deck.
Program 03
Proof-of-concept deployments
Small batches of 10 to 50 units are deployed through GlobalSync networks in target countries. Field feedback, basic outcome data, and anonymized stories or photographs collected with consent become the evidence for larger fundraising.
The program shortens wait time for R&D. Donors see a device, not a promise.
Current example tracks
Where a gift can land today
Battery disposal and recycling
Hazard kept out of soil and water
Safe, scalable battery disposal systems that prevent environmental harm and recover valuable materials.
Medical prototypes
Clinical tools named by partners
Orthopedic braces, diagnostic tools, and other humanitarian devices identified on a partnership call. The Foundation will work with any organization or grant on priority humanitarian projects.

Agreements and impact templates
Consulting and donation agreement drafts are available for review. Partners co-create the first impact report template rather than downloading a public archive that does not exist on this site.
