The other subdivisions of French Polynesia. Operations, tax and reporting are usually organised at this level rather than nationally, which is why they are listed at all.

Two ways to take part

They are different things, done by different entities, and one is never a route to the other.

Roarcry · the church

Give

A donation to the congregation. It is not repaid, earns nothing, and carries no claim on anything. Roarcry is not a registered 501(c)(3), so give as a gift rather than for a write-off.

A gift named for French Polynesia is a restricted gift: recorded against French Polynesia and spent there. If it cannot be spent there within a year it is pooled into the general fund and spent wherever it is needed most. That is a term of the gift, said here so that giving is agreeing to it.

Give to French Polynesia Give anywhere

Investment Fund, LLC · the issuer

Invest

A subscription for Class B units. It is at risk, it is not tax-deductible, it is not a donation, and you can lose all of it. Open only to verified accredited investors.

One fund covers every country on the map, on one set of terms. No country has its own vehicle, its own minimum or its own return.

The offering terms

The church is not the issuer, not a guarantor and not a party to any subscription. No donation to the church confers any interest in the fund.
