Monastic Map takes no money and no commission. Every “give” or “inquire” link goes straight to the foundation, community or agent responsible, and every entry lists its sources and the date it was last checked.

The small marks beside founding dates are Cistercian numerals, a system monks used from the thirteenth century to write any number up to 9,999 as a single sign.
