About

Karelia is a republic of Russia, one of 85 and the 19th largest, covering about 172,000 square kilometres — 1% of the country. It lies in the northwest. It is made up of two separate pieces of land. It borders Arkhangel'sk, Leningrad, Murmansk and Vologda. The Kem runs through it, and it takes in Lake Kovdozero, Lake Ladoga, Lake Onega and Lake Segozerskoye.

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 Russia is a restricted gift: recorded against Russia 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 Russia 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.
