Support
Alyph Academy is not accepting donations, zakāh, sadaqah or sponsorship. There is no button on this page and there will not be one until two things are true: the nonprofit corporation exists, and it is registered with the Michigan Attorney General to solicit. Both are in progress.
Pre-incorporation. Nothing is being collected, and no one is authorised to collect anything on our behalf. If you are ever asked for money in the name of Alyph Academy before this page changes, it is not us.
They are kept separate because the fiqh treats them differently, and because commingling them cannot be undone afterwards.
Will fund people, not the platform: scholarships and device or connectivity support for students in need, and stipends for teachers who are themselves zakāh-eligible.
It will never pay for servers, software or administration. Any proposal to change that requires written board review first.
General giving. Funds everything zakāh may not: hosting, the site itself, editorial work, translation, and the cost of keeping all of it free.
Every donation will be tagged at the point of collection — zakāh or not, restricted or not — because that cannot be reconstructed later.
Recurring monthly giving, and in time a restricted endowment whose principal is preserved and whose income keeps the lessons online after the founders are gone.
Where a donor intends the principal to be permanently inviolable, that will be written into the gift instrument itself, not assumed.
The most useful thing anyone can give right now is not money. It is a qualified person willing to write a lesson under their own name, or a careful reader willing to tell us where we are wrong.
