what your philanthropy can help us achieve
Education has the power to change the world. With your support, we will establish the world’s first online education platform for people who want to learn how to achieve social justice.
It takes time, money, and resources to produce great educational content which people can learn from.
Your contributions will enable us to pay a team of teachers, filmmakers, directors, producers, editors, animators, copywriters, designers, strategists, social media professionals at least a living wage. It will cover costs including office space, studio space, filming equipment, data storage, insurance, legal, and accounting.
If we raise £150,000 we will have a runway of 12 months. This will give us time to produce and distribute educational content, and raise our next round of £1.7m.
We believe everyone should be able to learn how to create change, and that is why we want to make our education free.
Therefore, we would not be able to do this without your financial contributions and support.
Your donation will help us share the lessons and experiences of campaigners, innovators, pioneers, activists, and leaders so that they can go on and address the major problems of our time and help make society fairer.
Your donation will help us start our journey towards reaching our mission to teach 10,000 people how to impact the lives of 100,000 people so that 1 billion people’s lives are improved.
Your donation will help us create a world where people can learn the skills, tools, strategies, and tactics that have changed the world, so that anyone can make a difference.
