How We're Funded

How we keep it free.

We're the engine behind the movement — and an engine needs fuel. Ours comes from two places, and neither of them is the people we serve. Whoever can pay funds free access for whoever can't. Here's exactly how, in the open.

The shared principle

Whoever can pay funds free access for whoever can't.

Two models, one rule from the charter: the voice-impaired person is never the customer and never the product. Brands and public agencies who can afford to fund access do — so families and communities never have to.

Two engines

Different funders. Same promise.

Purple · Free AAC

Brands keep communication free for life.

Companies sponsor real-world product tiles as corporate responsibility — product placement, not advertising. No slogans, no targeting, no user data. It funds free AAC for families, forever.

TinkyTown · Civic Access

ADA compliance pays for public access.

Public agencies and businesses fund counter access as the ADA obligation they already carry. That revenue funds the mission — and we're building toward free access in every public space.

Why you can trust it

A funding model is only as good as what it's forbidden to do.

Both engines run inside five binding commitments: we never sell user data, never monetize the people we serve, never sell out to anyone who won't honor the rules, dedicate revenue to the cause, and are building shared governance with lived-experience leaders.
