POURED STRAIGHT INTO THE HOUSE
We're brand new, so we'd rather tell you the truth than quote numbers we haven't earned yet. Right now every dollar goes to the same short list:
- Building and running the EL-EX workshops.
- Holding seats for people who can't cover the cost.
- The tools and platform this all runs on.
- Start-up costs so this outlives its first year.
HELP BUILD THE HOUSE.
- 256-bit encrypted payment processing — we never see or store your card.
- Emailed receipt on every gift. Cancel or change a monthly gift anytime.
- Tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
NO MYSTERY LINE ITEMS.
PROGRAMMING FIRST
Facilitators, experience experts, EL-EX materials, and the platform that runs it all.
SEATS FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T PAY
So money is never the reason somebody sits out a workshop.
THE UNGLAMOROUS STUFF
Software, insurance, bookkeeping — what keeps the doors open.
FINDING THE NEXT PERSON
Reaching somebody who hasn't heard of us yet.
We're early enough that we're not going to publish percentages we can't stand behind. Once we have a full year of real spending, you'll get it in plain English. Until then, ask us anything about a gift or a receipt — ring the bell and a person answers.
MAKE ROOM
FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
Every dollar turns into another room where somebody walks in alone and doesn't leave that way. That's the whole return on investment.
LIFE NEEDS WITNESSES.
MONEY ISN'T THE ONLY BRICK.
MONTHLY SUSTAINERS
The steadiest way to build. Cancel anytime, no guilt.
BUSINESS SPONSORS
Donate a product, a service, or a discount for EL-EX Rewards.
IN-KIND GIVING
Space, food, printing, photography, a van on Saturdays.
LEGACY GIVING
Leave a thread in the rope for the people who come next.
