Fund capacity-building for under-resourced mission-driven organizations.
Approximately seventy percent of program cost is funded through grants and donations. Gifts fund the subsidy that allows nonprofits, schools, and small businesses to participate at a cost-share calibrated to their capacity.
What gifts fund.
| Gift | Funded outcome |
|---|---|
| $50 | Approximately one hour of direct technical support for a participant. |
| $1,500 | Approximately one quarter of one Foundational tier program seat. |
| $7,500 | Approximately half of one Foundational tier program seat. |
| $31,500 | One Foundational tier program seat — the full subsidy beyond cost-share. |
| $94,500 | One Builder tier program seat. |
| $288,000 | One Institution tier program seat. |
| $750,000+ | One full cohort. Cohort sponsors at this level become program-cycle partners and receive published recognition. |
Recurring giving.
A monthly gift of $50 funds twelve hours of capacity-building work over a year. A monthly gift of $650 over four years funds the equivalent of one Foundational program seat. Recurring giving supports cohort capacity planning.
