You can also route a share into savings and the Sustainability Fund. ## Own it. Grow it. Most platforms move your money and keep the keys. We built the opposite: infrastructure you can own, and reserves that grow. ![Two Lairas shaking hands](https://cnfc6hjkztdschkg.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/assets/laira-shaking-hands-x2-OSmZQKqa.webp) ### Own it. Our whole stack is open source: trust you can verify in code, not just promises. You own the donor relationship, your data exports freely. And there's no lock-in, including your recurring donors: our **Recurring-Donor Portability Guarantee** means if you ever leave, we actively help migrate your recurring donors to your new platform, free, no exit toll. ![Laira presenting a growth chart](https://cnfc6hjkztdschkg.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/assets/laira-presentation-Nqpj23wQ.webp) ### Grow it.
