Build the endowment
of a permanent institution.
Every institution that lasts more than a generation has an endowment. Ours funds Work-Study Grants (turning donations into tuition credit for students who can't pay), full-ride Bachelor of Work scholarships (one per month), the Practitioner-in-Residence stipend program, and the long-tail infrastructure that keeps the college running past the first founders. Give once. Give monthly. Give at graduation.
Every dollar. To a student.
We don't have athletic programs, tenure lines, or brick-and-mortar to maintain. That means 100% of endowment giving flows directly into students — via grants, scholarships, and mentor stipends. Zero overhead, publicly audited quarterly.
Work-Study Grants.
Grant credit posts to student tuition ledgers. Turns shipped tasks into paid education. The largest single line of the endowment.
Full-ride Bachelor scholarships.
One full-ride Bachelor of Work seat per month, awarded to a student who shipped remarkable work. Named "The Forkaia Grant."
Practitioner-in-Residence stipends.
Pays senior operators to mentor cohorts. Stipend keeps PiRs on the roster and the seminar calendar full year-round.
Institutional resilience reserve.
Long-tail reserve for years when the operating business needs support. Keeps the school independent of any single funder or partner.
Give at any tier. All named.
Every donor is named on the Endowment wall (unless you request anonymity). Tier names come with tier perks — a class dinner invitation, a Ring number reserved for you, a Named Track that carries your name for a year, or a permanent line in the college's founding records.
Plan a gift. Beyond one lifetime.
The Endowment is designed to outlast every one of us. If you want your gift to compound across generations, three planned-giving vehicles carry your name in perpetuity: named scholarships, endowed chairs, and estate bequests.
Endow a full ride, forever.
A $200K endowed scholarship funds one full Bachelor of Work seat every year, in perpetuity. Named for you (or a person you honor). Renewable every 4-year cycle.
Fund a permanent Studio lead.
A $1M endowed chair funds a Studio lead PiR position in perpetuity. Named after the donor. Held by a rotating senior operator every academic year.
Include Forkaia in your will.
The Forkaia Foundation accepts estate bequests of any size. Bequests fund the resilience reserve and lock the institution's independence for a further generation.
