What a monthly gift does
Step 1
You set up a monthly gift
-
Step 1
You set up a monthly gift
Ten dollars a month, or a hundred. One payment, one receipt, and a standing invitation to change or cancel any month.
-
Step 2
It pools with thousands of others
Monthly gifts are unrestricted, so they go where the funding gap is widest that quarter — and the allocation is published, quarter by quarter.
-
Step 3
Local crews drill, wire and stock
The programs are delivered by local engineers, nurses and teachers — people who will still be there long after the grant ends.
-
Step 4
You get the numbers, every month
A one-page note: what arrived, what it bought, and one thing that went wrong. The same numbers are on the public dashboard.
Programs
Three themes, ten programs, one public record
Every program page carries its objectives, indicators, budget and partners — including the ones that miss their targets.
