# Help support LexDAO’s operational costs

[LexDAO](https://lexdao.net) is the industry's leading legal impact DAO.

No matter which sector of blockchain you're building in, that sector is guaranteed to be impacted by law in some way.

We're striving to build a world where decentralized organizations can comply with and thrive within the law.

That’s why Impact DAO Media considers us [an enabler DAO](https://cryptogood.substack.com/p/explained-the-top-5-impact-dao-categories), alongside Gitcoin:


Our mission is to promote legal engineering as a profession by directly participating in endeavors such as blockchain advocacy, smart contract development, and education.

Legal engineering is the application of computational law in daily decentralized life. This includes things like lowering legal costs through smart contracts and open source ethics.

Legal engineering is also the study and practice of advocating for equitable integration of computational law within applied jurisprudence as a whole.

We at LexDAO firmly believe **open source legal engineering** is crucial infrastructure for a free and fair society in our digital age.

It’s critically important that we as a community continue to support open-source organizations like LexDAO if we want to truly build a future where the law is accessible to and auditable by all.

# our ask

Despite our impact and low operational costs, LexDAO remains substantially underfunded.

As such, a donation of any amount makes a huge difference!
