A company built to fund the cause — not cash out of it.
AgeWell Alliance is a mission-locked company. We earn revenue so the movement doesn't have to pass a hat — and we've bound ourselves, in writing, to where that revenue goes and what we will never do to get it. This is the promise the whole engine runs on.
Free for libraries, schools, therapists, nonprofits, and families. For life.
Free AAC for life — for every library, every classroom, every speech therapist and the clinical tools they work with, every nonprofit, and every family who needs it. Not a discount. Not a trial. It's the whole point. The people we serve never pay — ever.
The company exists to fund the mission.
The business isn't the point — the cause is. Our products earn money from those who can pay: corporate sponsors and ADA-compliance customers. That revenue is dedicated to the work — free communication tools, advocacy, and coalition support — and never comes from the people we serve. The for-profit engine has one job: keep the mission free.
Five commitments. Not aspirations — rules.
These live in our charter and our customer contracts. They are the conditions under which this company is allowed to exist.
We never sell user data.
We will never sell, license, or transfer the data of the people who use our tools to any third party. Not for revenue, not for "partnerships," not ever.
We never monetize the people we serve.
No profiling, no behavioral targeting, no data brokering — the voice-impaired person is never the product, and their data and attention are never for sale. We keep AAC free through corporate sponsorship of real-world product images that help people be understood: contextual, the same for everyone, never tied to an individual, always removable. Brands fund the mission. Those we serve never pay — and are never sold.
We never sell out the mission.
We will not be acquired by any entity that won't honor these commitments. The lock travels with the company, or the company doesn't get sold.
We dedicate revenue to the cause.
Revenue from our products funds advocacy and coalition work — recognition, policy, and free communication access for the communities living with voice impairment.
We're building shared governance.In progress
We are building shared governance with lived-experience leaders from the constituent communities — so the people the mission serves help steer it. This one is honest about where it is: a commitment we're actively building, not a box already checked.
Two engines pay for it — so the people we serve never do.
Brands fund free AAC
Corporate sponsorship of real-world product tiles — product placement, not advertising — keeps communication free for families, for life.

Public agencies and businesses fund counter access as the ADA obligation they already carry — and that revenue powers the broader mission.
