Why your donation matters

Federal recognition means every gift supports an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3). Your donation keeps learning free, builds new curriculum, and launches the Learning Center sooner.

  • Fund platform hosting, course updates, and certificate programs.
  • Build accessible learning experiences and provide essential learning devices.
  • Expand free curriculum for schools and partner organizations.
