OURSPONSORS
Every workshop we teach is free. These are the funders who make that possible.
SAIL has no paid staff and no office. Grants go almost entirely into programming — the supplies handed to students in a workshop, and the fees that keep us a nonprofit.
In our last fiscal year SAIL operated on $2,100+ in grants and contributions. That covered our Ohio incorporation, our federal 501(c)(3) application, a domain name, and the workshop supplies handed to every student we taught — notebooks, UV pens for the invisible-ink activity, printed handouts, and name tags.
Because there is no staff to pay, the cost of reaching another classroom is close to the cost of its supplies. Roughly $250 funds a new chapter’s entire first year of programming. That ratio is unusual, and it is the main argument our funders have made for backing a student-run organization.
Students For AI Literacy is a registered 501(c)(3), EIN 42-3520807, based at 7726 Tylers Meadow Dr, West Chester, OH 45069. We are glad to share our ledger and a summary of what a specific contribution funded with any donor or grantmaker who asks.
