How it works

A match is not a donation. It is a dare. The money is already committed. It simply will not move until you move first.

  1. 01

    $1,000,000 is on the table.

    A matching grant of one million dollars has been pledged to The Freedom Institute. It is real, it is committed, and it is reserved for this campaign alone.

  2. 02

    Your gift unlocks its twin.

    The grant releases dollar for dollar against what our community raises. Give $500 and $1,000 reaches our students. Give $25,000 and $50,000 does. Your gift is the key, not the whole.

  3. 03

    What is not matched stays behind.

    The remainder of the million is only ours if we reach it before the campaign closes on December 31, which is why the date on this page matters as much as the number.

What it funds

Freedom is a private school for students who need something different: personalized, AI-supported learning with a Success Coach for every thirty students, at a tuition families can actually reach. Your gift keeps that ratio, that tuition, and those students.
