The Immutable 80/20 Endowment Guarantee
By completing your $100 monthly partnership for 12 months, you are participating in a legally mandated, lifelong financial model within the statutes of our foundation. In strict accordance with Articles 31 and 32 of the official OLSA Foundation statutes, 100% of your contribution is subject to a flat, unalterable allocation matrix:
80% ($80.00) is automatically swept into our Restricted Capital Endowment Fund within the first 15 days of the following month. This capital principal is permanently invested into interest-bearing portfolios and institutional CDTs. It remains untouched and indivisible to ensure our operations last to perpetuity. Only the interest is harvested each month to fund these courses, ensuring your impact lasts forever.
20% ($20.00) flows directly into our liquid operational account alongside harvested interest yields to immediately fund current seasonal programming and operational costs.
Your contribution doesn’t just fund a temporary project—it builds permanent equity that will generate interest to fund this mission to perpetuity.
