GiveFunds
Campaigns with a goal, a story, and a way to write. Nothing on this page takes a card.
Totals are illustrative, so the site can show a fund in progress. A gift starts as an email. We reply with the practical way to send it, and with the current figure, which may differ from the bars below.

Each fund ties to a program or to the general work.
Program fund
Teachers paid on a known day, and classrooms that stay open through the term.
The fund pays for time more than for things: a teacher’s month, chalk and paper, and the small repairs that keep a classroom usable after the rains. A gift here is attached to a register, not to a single afternoon.

Program fund
A meal and a conversation on the same afternoon, in four cities.
People come because the day does not move. The fund covers food, the hire of the kitchen, and the person who writes down who was missing, so the absence can be asked about next week.

Program fund
Keys, roofs, and the quiet upkeep of halls more than one program uses.
A hall fails in ordinary ways: a lock, a leak, a light. This fund keeps those buildings fit for a class in the morning and a long table later, without asking either program to find a new address.

Program fund
A seed fund for evening classes opening with the next term.
The classrooms already exist. What is still being gathered is the evening: teachers who can stay after their own work, lamps, and a register that does not assume a person is free at noon.

Program fund
Book boxes that travel on routes people already ride.
The collection does not wait for a new building. Boxes move with a bus timetable, and the fund pays for the books, the crates, and the librarian who knows which stop asked for what.

Unrestricted
Unrestricted money for the weeks that do not fit a single program.
Some needs arrive between the campaigns: a repair, a fare, a month when a partner cannot pay a wage. The general fund is the part of the charity that can answer without opening a new appeal.
