Where It Goes

No overhead.
No middle ground. No exceptions.

Every scholarship is voted on by our board and paid directly to the retreat, program, or partner organization — never to an administrative fund.

Recipients remain anonymous by design. Recovery deserves privacy, not a paper trail with someone's name attached.

What your gift makes possible

A group practicing together, arms raised in unison
A stranger's donation covered what my insurance wouldn't. I've been sober 400 days because someone I'll never meet said yes.

I used to think generosity was for people with money to spare. Then a scholarship fund gave my daughter her life back.
Marcus T., 2024
Hands clasped in support
Every dollar I give goes somewhere specific — a name, a bed, a chance. That's the only kind of giving I trust anymore.
