Overview
The Open Education Initiative is dedicated to expanding access to learning by creating and distributing open, high-quality educational resources for learners worldwide. This page supports ongoing work that helps universities, teachers, and communities provide free courses, open textbooks, and adaptable teaching materials to anyone with an internet connection. By contributing, you enable a scalable and sustainable model for open education, ensuring learning remains accessible regardless of geography or income.
Our goal is to reduce barriers to knowledge by curating and producing resources that can be freely used, modified, translated, and shared. The funds raised here support content creation, technical hosting, and the ongoing maintenance of an open platform where educators and students can collaborate. For supporters who want to explore related context, we’ve gathered thoughtful reading from a variety of perspectives on how open, collaborative approaches can accelerate learning and innovation.

- Invest in sustainable infrastructure that keeps resources available long term and scalable for new subjects and regions.
How Donations Are Used
Transparent stewardship guides every spending decision. Donations sustain both the content side—authoring, licensing, peer review, and localization—and the technical side—hosting, search, accessibility tooling, and platform maintenance. Every dollar is directed toward impact that aligns with open education principles: free, high-quality learning experiences that can be shared and built upon.
- Content development and licensing to ensure materials remain free and reusable.
- Hosting, bandwidth, and platform maintenance to keep resources reliably accessible.
- Translation, localization, and accessibility improvements to reach diverse audiences.
- Community events, workshops, and mentorship programs that foster collaborative learning.
