This is a wonderful organization that helps so many both within the sanctuary as well as the surrounding community.

Great organization that so many of us use - please consider supporting.

I love MCO. It is my favorite orchestra that has brought a lot of joy to my family and me.

I trust Taawon, as an old Association helping the Palestinian People.

Thanks you for making a difference in the lives of these kids ~ they are our future and they deserve to know they are valued & loved! 

Einstein called compound interest The Eighth Wonder Of The World - but we don’t teach enough personal finance in schools.  The Motley Fool has taught me so much, and the Foundation actively seeking, teaching and helping people do the right small things early to have big impact later is just such another Wonder.  I’m proud to support them.

Outsiders Farm & Sanctuary rescues animals—especially pigs—and builds a compassionate world through care, outreach, and education.

**Our Mission:** At Outsiders Farm & Sanctuary, we believe every animal deserves safety, respect, and the chance to thrive. Based in Hart County, GA, we rescue and provide lifelong sanctuary to many animals big and small—with an emphasis on pigs—while working to keep animals with the families who love them through outreach, education, and support services. As a plant-based family living alongside rescued animals, we’re building a compassionate world where all beings are seen, valued, and free.

**Our Background:** Founders, Daniel and Corrine Baker, moved to Georgia in 2015 with their three children Mara, Porter, and Eisley. Moving to Georgia, the Bakers had already been advocates for environmental and animal welfare issues. Upon arriving and seeing the sheer volume of animal exploitation permitted and so few resources available, it was a huge culture shock and they didn’t know how to help but things were falling into place for Outsiders to come into existence. Although it wasn’t until 2018 that the Sanctuary was founded after taking in their first group of pigs when they realized this was their calling and passion.

 Running the Sanctuary day-to-day from animal care, maintenance, all the way to the administrative work is all done by the Bakers. It is a full-family affair. A vegan family farm. Corrine handles all administrative work, veterinary care, and social media. Dan always feeds and waters the animals first thing in the morning and does many building projects, thanks to being a carpenter. He also does all of the maintenance work around the farm while working a full-time job to support his family and the animals at the Sanctuary.

 The children do a wonderful job loving on the animals, helping socialize them, but also put in physical labor when it comes to the gritty cleaning around the farm. All three can also walk you through the process of a spay and neuter procedure as well as properly give vaccines! They are warriors that will change the world! Life around the Sanctuary is incredibly busy - and often stressful - but there is so much peace and positive energy when you are doing what you have been called to do... especially when you do it with your family. 

"Welcome to Outsiders! We hope you love pig

We connect Black students and entrepreneurs to global Black excellence. We repair the exclusion created by lack of access.


The Diaspora Salon is an initiative of Association Collectif Eclats de Lune which organizes cross-cultural events . This specific program is an annual convening of scholars, artists, cultural practitioners, financiers, technologists, and community builders from across Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Americas. It is designed as an intentional intervention: a space where students and entrepreneurs experience, often for the first time, what it means to belong to excellence—and to be seen, valued, and welcomed into it. 

Beyond inspiration the participants gain durable access to a global network that invests in their potential, mentors their ambitions, and walks alongside them over time. This is social capital made visible, transferable, and enduring. Most Black students and entrepreneurs remain structurally excluded from these global networks. Few have the opportunity to travel. Fewer still have direct relationships with Black leaders operating at the highest levels across sectors and geographies.

Philanthropic support for the Diaspora Salon directly addresses this gap. It ensures that proximity to excellence is not an accident of privilege, but a deliberate act of investment—one that creates lifelong networks, expands global possibility, and helps a new generation imagine, and access, futures previously out of reach.

Our past initiatives have shown that access to global networks and excellence creates permanent, life-changing impact.    

Our annual gathering unfolds in Marrakech, beginning on the final day of the Contemporary African Art Fair 1:54 — a moment when the city hums with creativity and the spirit of Black cultural imagination. The sponsored participants for most have never travelled. They are then immersed in a world where brilliance travels freely across continents, and art collectors from around the globe arrive to celebrate Black excellence in contemporary art.

For many who may not often step inside museums, it becomes a revelation — a doorway into the vast and powerful presence of Black artists shaping the global stage. Creativity is not simply seen. It is felt, shared, and honored as part of a living, breathing heritage. 

After discovering the international power of Black visual artists, participants are then immersed in four days of luminous conversations with leaders who look like them — voices of brilliance, achievement, and imagination. In their presence, possibility widens. Dreams feel nearer. And students begin to see that they, too, can aspire — and belong — at the very center of excellence.

As someone who understands the power of being in the right place at the right time, we invite you to give that opportunity to others. 

We invite you to support this singular initiative, building lasting pathways to success and changing lives for generations.

Pratham Shiksha Charitable Trust supports low-income students through education and its Top Neurons mentorship program.

Pratham Shiksha Charitable Trust

Founded in 2005 in Jaipur, Rajasthan, Pratham Shiksha Charitable Trust is dedicated to enhancing the education of children & Adults from impoverished and underprivileged backgrounds.

2005 – 2021: Many of these children face barriers such as poverty, displacement, and social challenges that prevent them from attending regular schools. Even when they do manage to attend, their difficult circumstances often hinder them from aspiring to or gaining admission into top Indian institutions. The Trust provides these children with quality education and essential support, empowering them to dream big and achieve success.

2021 – Present: Supporting the Top Neurons program, an advanced academic mentorship initiative designed to help high-performing low-income students preparing for India’s competitive exams in science, medicine, and engineering.

Pratham Shiksha – The Meaning

The word "Pratham" means "First“ (Top Rank), and "Shiksha" means "Education" in Hindi.

Together, Pratham Shiksha translates to “First in Education”

This name reflects our unwavering commitment to providing education of the highest quality. 

Pratham Shiksha School History: 2005 to 2021 

Pratham Shiksha started in 2005 as a small school catering to children from Nursery to 4th Standard, primarily serving those from slums and poor families. Over time, it has supported approx. 3,000 children through flexible and inclusive education programs. Many children from low-income families face obstacles to regular schooling, such as working, caring for siblings, or a lack of awareness about education’s importance. Pratham Shiksha addressed these challenges by offering flexible learning options, enabling children to study at their own pace.

More Than Academics: Skills Training

Pratham Shiksha also empowers girls and women by providing training in valuable skills such as sewing, tailoring, beauty, cooking, and nursing, enabling them to earn a sustainable livelihood. Additionally, the Trust offers free classes in dance, art, and performance to boost their confidence and creativity. It has trained 100 nurses, many of whom have successfully secured jobs in hospitals.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, when physical schools were disrupted, Pratham Shiksha introduced remote learning, delivering digital assignments even in slum areas. However, this proved unsustainable, and the remote learning activities were discontinued in November 2021 after operating for about a year.

The Trust strategically got involved and began supporting the Top Neurons program, an advanced academic mentorship initiative designed to help high-performing low-income students preparing for India’s competitive exams in science, medicine, and engineering.

Prem Shanti Charitable Trust

The Trust was established in 2014 in Jaipur, at the same address where Pratham Shiksha is also registered. The trust is committed to serving underserved communities across India, with a primary focus on education and healthcare. Many of the trustees and promoters are common between Pratham Shiksha Charitable Trust and Prem Shanti Charitable Trust.

The Trust has made significant contributions in two key areas:

Healthcare: Prem Shanti Charitable Trust has facilitated over 500 free eye surgeries for underprivileged and elderly individuals, alongside organizing regular eye camps to prevent blindness. Before the onset of COVID-19, the Trust was performing around 20-25 surgeries every month, up until February 2020.

Education: In the education sector, the Trust has supported students by providing laptops, setting up computer labs in government schools, and constructing new classrooms to improve learning environments.

Pratham Shiksha & Prem Shanti Charitable Trust (Both Trust Under One Umbrella):  

Strategic Realignment

In 2021, all staff of Pratham Shiksha was re-dedicated to support  the Top Neurons program that was expanding and required additional support. Pratham Shiksha also began supporting the Top Neurons Program financially, utilizing its accumulated funds. Many international donors and advisors are now interested in supporting the Top Neuron program via Pratham Shiksha – having FCRA license makes it possible .

From 2021, Prem Shanti Charitable trust started focusing more on Healthcare and other initiatives while letting Pratham Shiksha’s re-dedicated staff take the lead on the Top Neuron Program focused on Education while continuing to support Top Neurons financially.   

Funding:

The Top Neuron program is supported by donations from individuals, corporates, and other charitable organizations.

Many companies also contribute through their mandatory CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) funds.

Future Planning:

Pratham Shiksha will continue to enhance the Top Neurons program, focusing on improving quality and expanding the number of students. Over the next 5 years, we aim to significantly scale the program, particularly for gifted students from underprivileged backgrounds. With sufficient funding—already showing strong donor interest—we plan to double our impact each year.

The Kyiv Independent is an award-winning English-language media outlet covering Ukraine and Eastern Europe.

The Kyiv Independent is **Ukraine’s fastest-growing English-language media outlet**, established in November 2021, just three months before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The Kyiv Independent was born out of a **fight for freedom of speech**. It was co-founded by a group of journalists who were fired from the Kyiv Post, then a prominent newspaper, as the owner attempted to take the newsroom under control and end its critical coverage of Ukrainian authorities.

Just three months after the Kyiv Independent was launched, Russia invaded Ukraine. **Our team stayed in Ukraine and kept on reporting on what was now a war against their country.**

The team’s resilience and **uncompromising reporting quickly made the Kyiv Independent a key source of news** from Ukraine for millions of people around the world.

**We vowed to serve the principles of honest journalism even during an ongoing war**. We have published investigations, including into misconduct within the Ukrainian military. It has solidified our readers’ trust in us as an independent news source. The Kyiv Independent has won multiple awards for its work.

We had to grow fast. Today, **the Kyiv Independent is a dynamic organization** producing stories, video reports, newsletters, documentaries, and more. In March 2023, we formed a separate unit within the team to investigate Russian war crimes. The team has **published nine documentaries so far, uncovered multiple war crimes, and seven international awards** for its work. 

**Unlike many news organizations, the Kyiv Independent has no single owner** or external source of financing. Instead, the majority of our funding comes directly from our readers — most of whom give just $5 a month. In 2024, 70% of our revenue was from membership and donations. 

Thanks to the support of our readers, the Kyiv Independent doesn’t need to depend on a wealthy owner — and doesn’t have a paywall. Our journalism is free and accessible to everyone, regardless of ability to pay, because we believe that everyone should have access to accurate and reliable information. 

**Our Mission**

**Serve as the bridge between Ukraine and the world**, delivering reliable news, context, and on-the-ground reporting.

**Our Values**

The Kyiv Independent **serves its readers and community**, and nobody else.

The Kyiv Independent **won’t be dependent on a rich owner or an oligarch.** Support from our readers, donors, and commercial activities fund the publication.

The newsroom **decides and executes the publication’s editorial policy in the community’s best interests.** Attempts to influence it from outside will not be tolerated.

The Kyiv Independent **will always be at least partly owned by its journalists**.

The Kyiv Independent **strives to maintain financial sustainability to preserve its independence.**

**Our Achievements**

1. **We reach almost 3 million monthly readers in 2025.**  Millions of people now read the Kyiv Independent every month. Our monthly website audience grew from 13,000 readers in January 2022 to close to 3 million monthly readers in 2025.
2. **Over 30,000 stories have been published** since launching the Kyiv Independent, including daily news updates, war coverage, business, culture, and opinions.
3. **We have published more than 150 field reports**, including dozens of stories from the front lines, bringing you on-the-ground coverage from places like Avdiivka, Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar, and Vovchansk.
4. **We have conducted 30 investigations**, including an award-winning investigation into alleged misconduct in Ukraine’s International Legion and leaked documents showing Russia’s plan to take over Belarus by 2030.
5. **The Kyiv Independent currently has seven active newsletters with over 230,000 subscribers**. They cover the latest events in Ukraine, front-line dispatches, business news, and much more.
6. **We built a vibrant, global community of more than 20,000 members**.  Since its launch, more than 50,000 people have financially supported the Kyiv Independent.
7. **We have won 20 awards** for our journalism and one award for our audience growth.
8. **We grew our team from 18 to 70+ people**.  A bigger team allows us to increase the impact and reach of our journalism.
9. **Our War Crimes Investigations Unit has produced nine investigative documentaries** about Russia’s systemic atrocities in Ukraine, including the deportation of children and torture of POWs.
10. **KI’s YouTube channel** features our video content, including reports from the front lines, a show about the latest news “Ukraine This Week,” exclusive interviews, and much more. **So far in 2025, we have reached over 14 million views and 270,000 subscribers**.

**We need your support to keep going.**

**Your support means that, as we face 2025 and the uncertainties it brings, we will be stronger, more resilient, and will be able to continue bringing you reliable journalism from Ukraine, whatever may come.**

A catalyst for creative freedom and cultural vitality across the Arab world.

As the largest fund for independent artists and cultural institutions in the Arab world, AFAC serves the collective necessity to pursue bold ideas, reclaim space, and share stories from our region on our own terms.

Culture shapes how we see ourselves, how we remember the past, and how we imagine the future. Independent voices are being silenced by war, repression, and economic collapse. Youth, who represent the region’s largest demographic, are largely excluded from cultural production and denied platforms to shape their futures. The threat of talent drain and cultural fragmentation has never been higher.

Since 2007, we have supported over 2,400 projects across 22 countries and their diasporas, awarding over $40 million in grants. Our model sustains not only the production of art but the long-term resilience of the cultural ecosystem. 

AFAC stands at the forefront of expression—investing in independent storytellers, visionaries, and institutions who challenge convention, spark dialogue, and preserve the richness of our collective narratives. We must act now to preserve cultural sovereignty and ensure that artists continue to imagine, question, and build the future of the region.

Our support spans cinema, music, literature, performance and visual arts, documentary photography, research, and critical training, reaching emerging talents and established voices, from the heart of the region to the edges of the diaspora. 

AFAC is more than a funder. We are a platform for connection, advocacy, and continuity. Through open calls, mentorship, strategic partnerships, and direct support to institutions, we create ecosystems, for the region and by the region, that allow independent culture to thrive.

At a time when global attention often overlooks the nuance of Arab realities, AFAC helps ensure that our stories—rooted in diversity, contradiction, and creative force—are not just told, but heard, remembered, and felt. We invite you to imagine a world where every voice can create, connect, and contribute to the cultural future of the region.

**With your support, AFAC can:**

- Sustain and expand critical funding for artists and institutions
- Launch bold new programs in underserved geographies
- Build a long-term ecosystem for Arab cultural philanthropy

Empowering Youth in Cambodia helps disadvantaged urban youth access education, personal growth, and leadership opportunities.

Cambodia's youth demographic is one of the youngest in Southeast Asia, with over 60% of the population under 30. This rapid youth growth presents both a significant opportunity and a considerable challenge for the country’s future development.

**Empowering Youth in Cambodia (EYC)**, founded in 2006, focuses specifically on one of the most vulnerable segments of this youth population—those living in disadvantaged urban communities in Phnom Penh. Most parents of EYC students work in informal sectors as factory workers, waste pickers, tuk-tuk drivers, or street vendors, earning only a modest daily income—typically between $5 and $8. These jobs are unstable and lack job security, often leaving families living on less than $200 per month. Many of these young people are first-generation learners, balancing studies and work often without family support. Additionally, they face limited access to quality education and stable employment opportunities.

**EYC’s mission is to empower these youth through education, personal development, and leadership opportunities—helping them break the cycle of poverty and become active, contributing citizens.** 

Starting small with English and computer classes in Phnom Penh, EYC quickly grew into a respected NGO, reaching over 800 youth annually. Alumni became the organization’s backbone—returning as staff members, volunteers, and role models, creating a powerful youth-to-youth cycle of empowerment. 

Over the years, EYC expanded to multiple community centers, added programs like scholarships, leadership training, life skills, sports, arts, and STEM education. The scholarship program, in particular, has helped many students become the first in their families to graduate from high school and attend university. 

Today, EYC operates three vibrant community centers in Phnom Penh, offering a range of programs:

- **English, digital literacy, and STEM courses,** including coding and robotics
- **Scholarship support** for high school and university students
- **Leadership development** to build communication, teamwork, and critical thinking skills
- **Life skills and extracurricular activities** in sports, arts, and mental health initiatives
- **Career guidance** and employability support
- **Volunteer and community engagement opportunities** with local and international partners

We believe that love is the foundation of education. EduCare's Heartset® Education is love in action. 

EduCare's mission is: **To inspire and empower young people to become responsible global citizens, courageous and compassionate leaders, and to live their dreams.**

EduCare directly supports over 30,000 students across Southern California every year  and reaches thousands more through educational programs and advocacy efforts to spread the transformative quality of heart-centered education.

Heartset Education encourages positive connections between students, educators, and families to generate nurturing environments in the classroom and at home. It builds communities of caring that lead to student well-being and success.

Students grow in resilience and motivation. More young people stay in school, graduate, attend and graduate from college, and move on to lead successful, fulfilling lives – serving and uplifting themselves, their families, their communities, and our shared world.

Educational media that ignites curiosity and long-term thinking through science, culture, and ideas shaping our shared future.

**Our Mission**
Accelerator Media ignites fearless curiosity and bold, forward-looking perspectives on humanity’s future through transformative storytelling. Guided by this perspective, we create compelling media that explores human potential, fosters global connection, and inspires a shared vision for the future we can build together.

**Our Vision**
We imagine a future where curiosity unites us, exploration broadens our understanding, and long-term thinking shapes a collective path of discovery, connection, and possibility.

**Why Accelerator Media?**
In today’s media landscape, content is often designed to provoke quick reactions, amplify division, and reward short-term attention. This constant cycle of distraction is eroding our ability to think critically, reflect deeply, and engage with the complex issues shaping our shared future. There is a growing need for media that encourages curiosity, imagination, and long-term thinking—especially in an increasingly divided world.

Accelerator Media exists to meet this need. We produce thoughtful, curiosity-driven content that invites reflection over reaction and exploration over blame. Through our growing portfolio of original podcasts, we bring together leading voices in science, technology, and the humanities from around the world—fostering global dialogue, and inspiring audiences of all ages to think more deeply about our shared future. With support, we can expand our reach, elevate production quality, and make meaningful media more accessible to those seeking substance and connection in an increasingly fragmented world.

**Our Work**
Accelerator Media is building a dynamic portfolio of media initiatives designed to inform, inspire, and empower curious minds to become world-changers. Our core projects include:

●      [**Curiosity Entangled**](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7jBCBttxtlQ1HeE2Nf2pVc6)[ ](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7jBCBttxtlQ1HeE2Nf2pVc6)– *A* unique, non-hosted podcast bringing together visionaries from different disciplines for conversations driven by mutual curiosity. At the heart of our work, *Curiosity Entangled* exemplifies our mission by weaving interdisciplinary insights into a tapestry of discovery. These dialogues reveal unexpected connections, spark fresh ideas, and offer bold answers to humanity’s toughest questions.

●      [**Ignition Sequence**](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7gQX6xSAT9wArswbB7Gdjen) – A video podcast exploring the big ideas shaping science, technology, culture, and the humanities, and how they shape the future.

●      [**Go! For Launch**](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAmp64147-7iU0d0Wxa145AioTck3xPf1) – A podcast guiding young adults toward meaningful STEM careers, blending inspiration with practical insights from global experts and educators.

●      **Future Documentary Projects** – High-quality documentaries and cinematic explorations—around the world and beyond—that take deep dives into pressing questions about humanity’s future, including a planned docuseries evolving from *Curiosity Entangled*.

**Our Impact**
Accelerator Media launched its flagship podcasts, Ignition Sequence and Go! For Launch, to immediate success, garnering over 670,000 YouTube views and 1,500 subscribers in just the first ten weeks, demonstrating significant public interest. This rapid growth, driven entirely by volunteer efforts, validates the demand for content that explores profound questions and career paths in science, technology, and culture, and signals our potential for even greater impact as we expand.

**Primary Platforms**
Currently, Accelerator Media distributes content primarily through YouTube and leading podcast platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. Our ambitious growth strategy includes future collaborations and distribution through major platforms such as PBS, Netflix, or Amazon Prime, especially for our documentary-focused project, Curiosity Entangled.

**The Need for Support**
At Accelerator Media, **we believe that knowledge drives the future**—shaping the ideas, innovations, and collective vision that will define humanity’s path forward. To produce this transformative content at scale, we need the financial resources to grow our team, enhance production quality, and expand our reach.

To date, all of our work has been accomplished by a dedicated volunteer team operating with minimal funding. This early momentum is a testament to the strength of our mission and the public demand for thoughtful, future-focused media. Now, to meet that demand and ensure long-term impact, we must transition from a volunteer-led effort to a fully supported organization with the capacity to grow.

With a fundraising goal of $1.5M, we aim to:

●      **Staff**: Hire producers, an education manager, and a marketing specialist to sustain and amplify our work.

●      **Operations**: Fund legal, accounting, and administrative essentials for stability and compliance.

●      **Production**: Boost quality for podcasts and documentaries, crafting stories that captivate and educate.

●      **Reach**: Expand globally through partnerships, digital platforms, and new media channels.

●      **Community**: Nurture a network of lifelong learners with evolving content, live events, and interactive forums.

**Why Your Support Matters**
Imagine a world where everyone embraces a century’s-thinking mindset and sees a path to shape tomorrow. A world where curiosity brings us together, exploration cuts through the noise of division and discovery unlocks the full potential of humanity.

That’s the future we’re building—with your support.

We invite you to ignite curiosity and inspire a future shaped by exploration and long-term vision. Your support empowers educational media that sparks curiosity, encourages critical thinking, and explores what’s possible for our shared future.

**Together, let’s spark the curiosity that shapes tomorrow.**

Zera Bolivia Foundation fosters indigenous-led education, enabling self-empowerment, financial independence, and social mobility.

**Zera Bolivia** is an Aymara-led foundation that hosts classes and events for kids as a response to colonial norms, championing indigenous self-determination—especially for women and girls—through transformative education grounded in emotional intelligence, critical thinking, self-awareness, and practical tools for financial independence.

We began in 2015 with a socio-emotional learning pilot at a women’s prison in La Paz, and have since grown to reach thousands of children, youth, and families across Bolivia’s nine departments. Collaborating with municipal governments, the Ministry of Education, and local communities, we co-create culturally adapted programs that honor each community’s priorities and values. Thanks to our community and donor support, we have provided training, world-class educational materials, and technology infrastructure to prisons, children’s hospitals, rural areas, schools, and grassroots groups—always centering local leadership.

From the “Qantatai” literature podcast to “Bolivian Thinkers for Everyone By Zera,” our initiatives celebrate Bolivia’s intellectual heritage and open new pathways for dialogue and growth. Participants often report stronger emotional well-being, improved academic performance, and greater economic opportunities. As we look to the future, we are developing our first “STEM for Indigenous Young Women” program in El Alto and across 20 rural provinces of La Paz, in partnership with India’s STEMED NETWORK.

When you support Zera Bolivia, you invest in locally driven, inclusive solutions that affirm the power of Indian communities to shape their own destiny. Your contribution furthers our shared vision of a Bolivia where education is a tool for self-empowerment, cultural pride, and lasting social change.
