// Why monthly matters
Recurring gifts keep the classroom open.
PEP receives no public funding. Every class, every business plan competition, every man walking out with a plan instead of a bus ticket is paid for by people who choose to give. It takes $400,000 a month to keep the program running, and monthly donors are what turn that number from a scramble into a plan.
The people closest to the work already give this way.
- $400KNeeded every month
- 100%Of staff give monthly
- 28%Of alumni give monthly
