Sponsorship of Ìwẹrẹ Academy funds a scholar, an instructor, and a ceremony. Four tiers from $500 to $5,000. Ninety-two cents of every dollar reaches the classroom — audited annually, reported quarterly, delivered to you as a letter from your scholar.
Funds one scholar through a full 12-week language cohort — tuition, workbook, digital recorder, and the closing-day ceremony supper.
Two scholars and a stipend for a Regional mentor who anchors their cohort. The unit of change we ask families to consider together.
Five scholars across three Regions — exactly the unit that keeps a remote Region alive for a full season.
Underwrites an entire cohort of 16 scholars plus an elder-led masterclass of your choosing — history, regalia, cuisine, or music.
Of every dollar given, ninety-two cents is tuition, materials, or instructor pay. The rest is independently audited overhead for the 501(c)(3).
Launched with twelve children on a video call. Three years later, 150 scholars across nine Regions, including 48 on full sponsorship.
Our outcome target is that every scholar completes their 12-week cohort and performs the closing recitation to a grandparent. The first cohort metric publishes after the Fall 2026 cycle ends.
Choose Hearth, Circle, Lineage, or Palace — or give any amount through the main donate page.
We allocate within a week to the next open cohort. 92¢ on the dollar is tuition, materials, and instructor pay.
A quarterly update arrives — one letter, one audio clip, one photo from the Regional cohort gathering.
Every tier is invited to the end-of-term ceremony — in person in the scholar's Region or by livestream.
Someone I never met sponsored the class that changed my life — my grandmother heard me pray in Ìwẹrẹ the week I finished Foundation. Now I sponsor two scholars myself. That is how the debt is paid.
Every dollar is tax-deductible. Every scholar is named. Every sponsor gets a letter, a clip, and a front-row seat to the ceremony. Choose a tier above, or start the conversation about a multi-year corporate partnership.
