in other ways
As we are a startup volunteer organization, donations or funding of any amount will open the door to new possibilities in fulfilling our mission. These early donations will be some of the most important funding we ever receive!
As of 5/2026, we are using the Givebutter to manage donations. If you'd like to support our work with a donation, please donate through this link:
https://givebutter.com/support-chaaco
Please note that Givebutter will ask for "tips," which are strictly optional and no-obligation. These tips go to Givebutter to support their operating costs, in lieu of charging CHAACo mandatory processing and platform fees. Tipping has no impact on CHAACo either way; allowing Givebutter to ask for tips means all donations to us go further.

CHAACo is does not yet have 501(c) nonprofit status, and therefore donations to us are not tax-deductible at this time. Becoming an independent nonprofit is relatively expensive for us in both time and money. For the foreseeable future, we are working toward finding fiscal sponsorship—that is, becoming a sponsored project of a compatible nonprofit organization that can extend its 501(c) status and protections to us.
If you would like to make a donation to us, but only after we have 501(c) nonprofit status and/or it would be considered tax-deductible, please let us know by pledging a donation today!
Pledges for future donations provide meaningful support now. Pledged donations will help us make a case to a nonprofit fiscal sponsor to take us on, allow us to plan for future expenditures, and enable us to apply for grants that want to see demonstrated support for projects.
Please email us through our Contact Us page and pledge to donate.
You can volunteer for a project or contribute in other ways without being publicly associated with CHAACo. We will leave your name off of external communications and acknowledgements.
