How Your Generosity Is Invested

95% of the funds raised will go directly to creating and providing our RICH Metaversal learning worlds to underserved children.

The story of RICH Learning International is the story of hundreds of volunteers, thousands of donated volunteer days and a myriad of uncountable quiet donations that never show up on our books. Learn more About us who we are and why our work matters. Our board and C-Team take no salary and pay their own expenses. Food, lodging and transportation around the globe to bring “access to excellence” to underserved children has all come out of our pocket. The chart below only reveals what was raised and spent in cash on programming in the last decade. It can’t begin to estimate the donations of time and talents. We’ve taught on every continent – except Antarctica. And we’re only getting started.

Right up until Covid our efforts included:

  • 7-week free RICH Learning events in the US, India and Ethiopia
  • Dozens of separate trainings for teachers and kids in the US, Canada, Egypt, the UAE, Israel, South Korea, Nigeria, Kenya, Latvia and other nations
  • Stipends for college-age teachers, musicians, dancers, artists and theater staff
  • Zero expenses charged to RLI by our Board and C-Team

Proof of Trust: Financial Stewardship

We are committed to accountability and transparency. Our goal is 95% of all charitable donations will go directly to gift sponsorships for underserved children. If enough funds are raised, we’ll also connect with major technology hardware providers to donate equipment and high-speed downloads to make this happen.

Note: Our co-founder Dr. Wm. C. Nelsen built the largest private scholarship fund in American history, the $5.7B scholarshipamerica.org . With your help, we will do it again, this time for the children of the world.
