IPR has a STRICT no-fee ever policy. This means that at NO time will our clients EVER be asked or obligated to pay a fee for any of our services. We are not in this to make money and doing so would undermine the principals by which we are guided.
However, providing our services is not cheap. Our group is funded 100% out of pocket. As a result we are grateful for any donations that our clients offer to us. We WILL NOT at any time hint, ask for, or obligate our clients to make a donation to us. Any donations made are STRITCTLY of our clients' own accord.
Donations of money will be applied to the following areas:
Equipment purchases
Equipment we frequently purchase includes video cameras, digital cameras, IR lights, voice recorders, etc. We shop for the best values we can find and often buy used equipment but costs still add up. Our DVR system ALONE cost over $1000 and it is not used for anything other than helping people. Our video cameras are purchased on average for about $100 used.
Media Purchases
We use anywhere between 5 and 20 video tapes PER investigation. At anywhere between $4 to $6 per tape this too adds up over time. We also use a various assortment of flash media for our cameras and data transfers.
Fuel costs
We all know how expensive fuel is nowadays. We have to burn it to get places just like anyone else.
IPR also accepts equipment donations. Unfortunately the equipment we use is not as obselete as what people would usually be willing to donate. Nevertheless, we will happily accept things such as the following:
- Sony MiniDV and Digital8 video cameras
- 5MP and above digital cameras
- Digital voice recorders
If you would like to make a donation please contact us!
