Community Tip Jar

Empowering Independence, One Tip at a time.

At Full Circle AT, we know that with the right tools, technology is the key to unlocking freedom and opportunity. Our Tip Jar isn’t just a collection box—it is a lifeline for those who need a little extra support to access life-changing assistive technology training.

Why Your Support Matters

The true operational cost of providing our expert 1:1 training is $40.00 per hour. While we subsidize this to keep our individual rates low, many in our community still face impossible choices.

Did you know that in 2026, the Federal Poverty Guideline for a single individual is approximately $16,110 a year? For someone living on SSI ($994/mo) or SSDI ($1,630/mo), covering rent and food is a daily struggle. Quality professional training often feels completely out of reach.

How You Bridge the Gap

That’s where you come in. When you contribute to the Tip Jar, you aren’t just “tipping” a trainer—you are directly subsidizing a neighbor’s path to independence. Your contributions ensure that cost is never a barrier to learning.

Every dollar in the Tip Jar powers:

• Guaranteed Free Training: Providing 100% free 1:1 sessions for those earning under $2,000 a month.

• Affordable Access: Keeping our reduced individual rate at just $17.50 per hour.

• Specialized Tech Support: Tailored troubleshooting for screen readers, braille displays, and accessible workplace tools.

The Power of Paying it Forward

Your support does more than teach software; it empowers individuals to take charge of their own futures. With technology comes not just innovation, but the freedom to work, learn, and connect.

Our mission comes “Full Circle” when a student finds success and eventually contributes back to the jar to help the next person in line.
