How we ensure 100% of your impact reaches the student.
We do not touch your money. Wherever possible, we guide you to pay the vendor (ETS, Common App, AWS) directly. You are not donating to us; you are paying an invoice for a student.
Every funded request is closed with a screenshot of the payment confirmation shared with the sponsor.
We encourage students to write a personal "Thank You" note to their sponsor after the service is unlocked.
We publicly track our cumulative impact on the home page.
100% of funds go to fees/tools
We don't fund potential. We fund readiness.
To ensure our sponsors' money is never wasted, every request must pass a strict 3-point check before going live.
For Students: Must provide transcripts (GPA > 3.5 preferred).
For Builders: Must provide a GitHub repo or Portfolio link showing active work.
We do not fund "practice" attempts.
- If requesting TOEFL/SAT fees, you must upload a Mock Test Score showing you are ready to ace it.
- If requesting App Fees, your essays must be drafted.
We prioritize urgent blocks. You must demonstrate how this specific fee is the *only* thing stopping you from the next step (e.g., "I have a contract offer, I just need Figma to start").
We connect you with sponsors to fund your essential tools and fees.
