A little more about giving.
You deserve to know where your gift goes and who handles your payment. Here’s how it works.
What your gift supports
Pillars of Tech brings hands-on STEM activities to kids and families. Donations support the materials, tools, and events that help students build, experiment, and explore.
See our eventsHCB handles the payment
Pillars of Tech is fiscally sponsored through Hack Club. All donation transactions go through HCB, Hack Club’s platform, which uses Stripe for payment processing.
Pillars of Tech does not receive your card number, security code, or payment credentials. You enter payment details in HCB’s checkout, including when that checkout is embedded on our donate page.
Opening the donate page loads content from HCB. HCB and its payment providers handle information you enter there according to their policies.
