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.
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.
Covers a real slice of what it costs to keep A Quiet Word answering people for a day.
Give on Ko-fiAs 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.
Give on Ko-fiMoves us toward paid, trained crisis counselors, not just covering what today's usage already costs.
Give on Ko-fiAny amount works. Pick your own number on the Ko-fi page, no tier required.

- 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 cost of the Claude API calls that make it work, which goes 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.
