Donate

Help us keep it free.

We're building free, confidential mental-health support, starting with A Quiet Word. Donations keep it free for the people who reach for it, and let us build it carefully.

Make a donation

Give what feels right.

Every amount goes to the same place: keeping support reachable and free. Pick an amount below for a sense of scale, then choose exactly what you want to give on Ko-fi. Even $1 is genuinely welcome.

Anything

Genuinely helps this early. There's no minimum that's too small to matter.

Give on Ko-fi

A day's worth

Covers a real slice of what it costs to keep A Quiet Word answering people for a day.

$25

Keeping pace

As more people find A Quiet Word, the API and hosting cost scales with them. This helps us keep pace with that instead of falling behind it.

$100

Building ahead

Moves us toward paid, trained crisis counselors, not just covering what today's usage already costs.

Give on Ko-fi

Any amount works. Pick your own number on the Ko-fi page, no tier required.

Where it goes

What your donation supports.

Keeping A Quiet Word free, for everyone, always
Paid, trained crisis counselors for the calls that need a real person and not just a hotline number, whether someone truly has no one else or just wants that instead of talking to an AI
The real, per-conversation AI model costs that make it work, which go up as more people use it
The safety research and review that has to come first
Accessibility and support in more languages

The Solace Foundation is working toward 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.

We don't have a nonprofit bank account yet, so donations right now go through a personal Ko-fi account and are not tax-deductible. We'll update this the moment that changes.
