Donate to Dialogue

Free, intensive, live, paid-expert English instruction — forever.

You give now so learners never have to pay. 100% of your gift goes to the salaries of the learners' educators, or to guarantee a learner's class seat, or to their school's endowment.

Everything else is paid for. Yes, everything.

First learner cohort: September 3, 2026.

What Your Gift Funds

Donors fund only:

The salaries of the school's instructor and executive director.
Class-seat guarantees for learners who need a sponsor.
The school's permanent endowment.

Nothing more.

What Your Gift Does Not Fund

Everything below is already funded and free forever:

The teleclassroom platform. Google Meet, provided through Google Workspace for Nonprofits.
The website you are reading. Built on Google Sites; hosted free; the dialogueschool.org domain is paid personally by the founder.
The donation processor. Zeffy charges Dialogue nothing; donors voluntarily tip Zeffy at checkout if they wish.
The bank. Relay (Thread Bank) charges no monthly fees.
AI tools. Free tiers of Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Duolingo, and others.
Books and reading materials. Public-domain texts; library access.
Email and software. Google Workspace for Nonprofits — Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Forms, Classroom — all in-kind.

Every dollar donated goes to a human being doing work that no software, no AI, and no platform can do.

A Note About Zeffy

Dialogue uses Zeffy as its donation platform because Zeffy charges nonprofits no fees. Zeffy is funded entirely by voluntary contributions from donors at checkout.

When you donate, you may see an optional contribution to Zeffy itself. You can adjust it to any amount, including zero. Whatever you choose, your full gift to Dialogue reaches Dialogue.
