Every dollar has a name.
We tell you where gifts go. Every dollar we have given since 2018 is a line on the receipt below, with the project next to it.
Where it went.

Questions about giving.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
We can’t promise that on this page. Before you give for tax reasons, ask us through the contact form and we’ll answer you directly.
Where does my money go?
The receipt above shows where every past dollar went, and each project page shows what it bought. To know where a gift will go before you give, write to us.
Can I give to a specific project?
Gifts on GoFundMe go to Kenya. To support something else, or a drive at your own school, write to us and we’ll talk it through.
