+## About 
+
+The Open Ordinals Institute is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to nurturing
+and upholding a thriving ecosystem for the free and open-source development of
+the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol. We are staunch believers in the essential role of
+free and open-source software for the future of the internet and the world.
+
+The Open Ordinals Institute is committed to supporting developers involved in
+this protocol, as well as those creating user-friendly tools that facilitate
+less technically proficient users to create Bitcoin Digital Artifacts. In
+addition to developers, we aim to fund designers, reviewers, researchers,
+educators, and others who contribute to the enhancement and promotion of this
+novel technology.
+
+There are numerous ways you can assist in achieving this mission. You can:
+
+[Donate](#donate) to the Open Ordinals Institute
+[Contribute](https://github.com/ordinals/ord) to the Ordinals protocol
+[Spread](https://twitter.com/ordinalsorg) the word about the Open Ordinals
+initiative
+
+Every little support counts. We appreciate your commitment to our cause. Thank
+you!
