Community Tip Jar<\/h1>\n

Empowering Independence, One Tip at a time.<\/h2>\n

At Full Circle AT, we know that with the right tools, technology is the key to unlocking freedom and opportunity. Our Tip Jar isn\u2019t just a collection box\u2014it is a lifeline for those who need a little extra support to access life-changing assistive technology training.<\/p>\n

Why Your Support Matters<\/h3>\n

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

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

How You Bridge the Gap<\/h3>\n

That\u2019s where you come in. When you contribute to the Tip Jar, you aren’t just “tipping” a trainer\u2014you are directly subsidizing a neighbor\u2019s path to independence. Your contributions ensure that cost is never a barrier to learning.<\/p>\n

    The Power of Paying it Forward<\/h3>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

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