Help the work
reach people.
The plan is to make the learning free to use and take it into communities through locally developed outreach.
Travel. Teaching.
Tools that stay.
Joe's goal is to travel internationally and offer accessible education alongside local partners. Planned contributions would help cover the practical cost of doing that work.
- Outreach travel, transport, and accommodation.
- Translation and local educational collaboration.
- Printing and reusable learning materials.
- Workshop space, basic supplies, and accessibility needs.
- Website, payment fees, and administration.
There is no fixed allocation or published trip budget yet. Costs will vary by destination and the plan agreed with a local host.

Know where the
money would go.
Before a funded trip, publish a purpose, planned activities, estimated costs, and what happens if the itinerary changes. Afterward, report spending against those categories, including fees and founder expenses.
| Category | What should be visible |
|---|---|
| Travel & accommodation | Trip purpose, dates, transport, lodging, and how outreach costs are separated from personal costs. |
| Local collaboration | Translation, educators, space, and agreed local services. |
| Materials & access | Printing, supplies, and practical accessibility costs. |
| Administration | Payment fees, website costs, and any compensation. |
| Unspent funds | Balance carried forward and the intended use if a trip changes or is canceled. |
No claim is made that all money goes directly to participants. Travel is part of the requested funding purpose and needs to be visible as such.
Practical questions.
Would contributions be tax-deductible?
No tax deduction is being offered. The project is not presented as a registered charity. In the United States, gifts to an individual are generally not deductible as charitable contributions. Any future fiscal sponsor or qualified organization would need to be identified before different terms are advertised. IRS guidance ↗
Who would receive the funds?
The proposed recipient is Joe Rounsaville for this independent outreach project. A payment account, recipient details, public contact, and contribution terms must be published before collection is activated.
What if a trip does not happen?
That policy is not finalized. Before accepting funds, the project must state how canceled trips, unused balances, and refund requests will be handled. No donation should be requested on the assumption that an unconfirmed trip is guaranteed.
Can I become a monthly donor?
Recurring payments are not available. This edition includes a one-time amount planner only. Any future subscription must clearly explain the amount, frequency, cancellation process, and payment provider.
Can I help without donating?
Educational review, local hosting, translation, and careful criticism could all improve this work. A contact channel and specific requests will be added before partnership intake opens. The lessons are already free to read and use for your own learning.
