Double your impact with a match (non-deductible)

We have a generous donor who will match 1:1 any cash gifts made via Venmo to Nicole Richard.

Venmo: @Nicole-Richard-3 


Note: These donations are not tax-deductible and no charitable receipt is issued.
How it works: You give $100 → the match adds $100 → $200 total impact
Tip: Add “Kenya Singapore 2025” in the payment note so we can track the match.

Track Our Progress

We’ll update this total regularly so you can see the momentum build.

FAQ

Is one option better than the other?
Choose what matters most to you:

  • Want a tax receipt? Use the nonprofit portal.

  • Want to double your impact? Use Venmo for the match (non-deductible).

Can I give internationally?
Yes—use the nonprofit link above for most international cards. Venmo is typically U.S. only.

Will I get a receipt?

  • Nonprofit portal: Yes, you’ll receive an official receipt via email.

  • Venmo match: No charitable receipt (but we can send a personal acknowledgment).

How do you verify the match?
We track Venmo gifts via your payment note (“Kenya Singapore 2025”) and confirm with the matching donor. We’ll post periodic match updates on this page.

Can I stay anonymous?
Yes. Both options allow you to give without your name being listed publicly.

Deadlines?
We aim to reach $10,000 as soon as possible to book best-value travel and secure logistics. Earlier gifts help most.

Transparency & Updates

We’re committed to clear reporting. After the trip, we’ll share a short impact recap with photos, a budget summary, and student reflections—including an update from Santana and the team.
