Curriculum development
The largest line by far. Five doses, K through 12, written by people who have taught children and who read the research — then tested in real classrooms and rewritten when they fall apart on a Tuesday afternoon.

Support this work.
AInoculate gives its curriculum away. Free to every school, in every district, forever — no licence, no seat count, no student data collected.
That model only works if somebody else pays for it. That is what this page is for.
100% of donor giving goes directly to the AInoculate effort.
Who we are
AInoculate is a project of the Webspinner Foundation.
We are not a separate charity and we do not want to be one. AInoculate is a programme of the Webspinner Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation, and it runs on the Foundation’s governance, its accounting and its reporting.
That arrangement is deliberate, and it is what makes the pledge at the top of this page possible. The Foundation already carries the administrative cost of existing — the filings, the bookkeeping, the infrastructure, the audits. AInoculate does not need to duplicate any of it, so gifts made here are not paying for a second set of overheads.
Financial reporting. The Webspinner Foundation publishes its financial reporting on the Foundation’s own site. We would rather you check it than take our word for anything on this page. Webspinner Foundation financials ↗
What “100% goes to the effort” means, precisely
We want this claim to be checkable rather than merely reassuring, so here is exactly what it does and does not say.
- It means: money given here is spent on AInoculate — curriculum development, teacher preparation, translation, materials, and independent evaluation. It is not swept into a general fund, and it does not pay the Foundation’s administrative overhead, which the Foundation covers itself.
- It does not mean that payment processing is free. If you give by card, the processor takes its fee before the money reaches us — that is true of every charity and no organisation can waive it. Giving by bank transfer or cheque avoids it entirely, which is why both are offered below.
- It does not mean nobody is paid. Curriculum written by people who know how to write curriculum is the single largest cost, and paying those people properly is the point of the fundraising, not a deduction from it.
Before you give: tax treatment of a gift depends on the Foundation’s registration status and on where you file. Check the Foundation site for its current status, or ask us and we will tell you plainly rather than guess.
We put this in writing, bindingly. The commitments above are not a statement of intent. They are set out in the Donor Covenant, drafted as a gift instrument so that every gift made here is a legally restricted gift — enforceable, with donor information and enforcement rights reserved, and a gift-over to a like-purpose organisation if we ever abandon the work.
Where it goes
What a gift actually buys.
In rough order of how much of it there is. These are the costs of the programme described in the curriculum framework.
Teacher preparation
The Educator Corps: the 12-hour foundation, the facilitation guides, the vetted specimen library. Teacher readiness is the binding constraint on everything else, so it is funded first, not last.
Independent evaluation
Pre/post instruments that measure unassisted transfer, and the statistical work to analyse them honestly. This is the line most programmes cut. We would rather cut something else and be able to tell you whether this works.
Translation and access
The Family Booster in the languages a district actually serves, and the offline kits that let a school with poor connectivity run every dose. An intervention that only reaches connected, English-speaking families reproduces the inequity it was meant to close.
Make a gift
Give to AInoculate
Choose an amount. We will confirm your gift and tell you exactly how to complete it — by bank transfer or cheque if you would rather no processor took a percentage.
Giving opens shortly. Oregon requires a charity to complete its registration with the Department of Justice’s Charitable Activities Section before it solicits donations in the state. Ours is in progress, and we are not going to ask you for money one day earlier than the law allows.
If you would like to give now, or want to discuss a larger gift, a grant, or an in-kind contribution, please write to us and we will arrange it directly — which also avoids a processor fee. The Donor Covenant below sets out the terms every gift will be made under.
Other ways to help
Money is not the only useful thing.
If you cannot give, several of these are worth more to the programme than a small cheque, and we mean that literally.
- A pilot classroom. A school willing to run a dose and measure it honestly is the scarcest resource we have.
- An hour from a teacher. Reading a facilitation guide and telling us where it breaks.
- A correction. Our evidence page rests on about sixty sources. If one is wrong, we want to know before a school board finds out.
- A translation. One family guide in one more language.
- An introduction. To a district, a foundation, or a researcher who could evaluate this properly.
Why we ask.
Everything AInoculate makes is free to schools, and we intend to keep it that way permanently. Not free-for-now, not free-until-we-raise-a-round.
The reason is the argument on the rest of this site. If AI literacy costs money, it becomes a private advantage bought by families who can afford it rather than a public capability granted by schools — which is precisely the inequity we object to in the bans. A programme that charged for the remedy would be reproducing the disease.
So somebody has to pay, and it cannot be the schools. That is the whole case.
