100% Direct Program Impact

As a 501(c)(3) public charity, every dollar raised in our Scholar Seat Drive directly funds student access and cohort execution. Because we partner with sponsors like Vonage, Civic Hall, and local hospitality providers to secure in-kind venue and event support, every $250 sponsorship is leveraged to cover:

  • Zero-Tuition Seat Allocation: 100% free enrollment for high-potential builders.
  • Workshop & Lab Infrastructure: Physical venue space, materials, and catered cohort days.
  • Developer Tools & Tech Access: Essential software, platform access, and technical learning resources.
  • Program Continuity: Complete operational support through final project demo days.
