Access Fund
Money should never be the reason you can't learn.
Scholarships and sponsorships for workshops, classes and events, paid by people and companies who believe in skills.
How it works
- Find a workshop or event you want to join.
- Press "Request support" and tell us what you want to learn and why.
- Get reviewed. Support is merit-based: show your effort, past proofs or a plan.
- Money goes straight to the host. It covers your seat, tools or materials. It's never paid out as cash.
- Pass it on. Post your proof when you finish, and teach someone else when you can.
Not a freebie
The Access Fund is a hand up, not a handout. You put in the work, and the fund opens the door. The platform does not keep the gift.
Where the money comes from
Members chip in. Sponsors fund seats or whole programs: local businesses, brands, foundations and companies. A share of merch profit goes to the fund too. Every sponsor is listed publicly, and sponsors can't buy influence over what gets taught.
Sponsor a seat
Want to back a learner, a workshop or a whole skill path? Card checkout is not connected. A direction record sends the amount to the host, never as cash to the learner.
