Nonprofit Fund Routing Disclosure

This disclosure explains, plainly and specifically, what happens to the portion of your subscription that supports early-childhood education in the developing world. We're publishing this separately from our Terms of Use because we think this commitment deserves to be checkable on its own, not buried in a longer legal document.

The commitment

100% of LifeChoices' net surplus — that is, subscription revenue after deducting the operating costs of running the Service — is routed to one or more independent, vetted partner foundations supporting early-childhood education programs in the developing world.

LifeChoices retains no profit. Every dollar of subscription revenue either pays the direct cost of operating the Service, or is routed to our partner foundation(s). There is no third category.

What "operating costs" means, specifically

This is the most important definition in this disclosure, because with a 100% commitment, "operating costs" is the only lever left that determines how much actually reaches our partner foundation(s). A vague definition here would let the commitment be technically true while meaning very little in practice. So we commit to defining it narrowly and specifically:

Operating costs include only:

1. Payment processing fees — fees charged by Stripe or any payment processor we use, at their standard published rates.
2. Infrastructure costs directly tied to serving subscribers — hosting, AI model/inference costs, database and storage costs. Where infrastructure is shared with non-subscriber use (e.g., a free tier, internal testing), only the subscriber-attributable share counts as an operating cost.
3. Customer support — support tooling and the cost of staff time spent directly answering user support requests.
4. Founder and operator compensation — a fixed salary, not a residual. Compensation for the people running LifeChoices is set as a fixed annual salary figure, disclosed in our annual report, and paid on that fixed basis regardless of how much or little surplus a given period produces. This figure is reviewable once per year; any change to it will be disclosed in that year's annual report, along with the reason for the change. Compensation is never structured as a percentage, bonus, or share of revenue or surplus. The specific salary figure will be set and disclosed in our first annual report.
5. A small, capped working-capital reserve — up to 3 months of the costs above, held to absorb normal month-to-month variation (a slow subscriber month, a one-time infrastructure cost spike). Once the reserve reaches its cap, no further amount is added to it; any surplus beyond the cap is routed to our partner foundation(s) in that period, even if a future period turns out to be lean. The reserve's starting balance, ending balance, and any draw-downs are disclosed in each annual report.

Operating costs do not include, under any circumstance:

• Marketing or advertising spend for LifeChoices itself
• Any bonus, equity grant, profit share, or other compensation tied to revenue, subscriber growth, or surplus — fixed salary only, as described above
• Legal, accounting, or other professional fees that are not directly required to operate the day-to-day Service (one-time costs like entity formation are pre-launch setup costs, not ongoing operating costs, and are not deducted from subscriber-period surplus)
• Any new-feature or expansion spend beyond what is needed to keep the existing Service running — a decision to build something genuinely new is a separate, transparently-disclosed decision, not something folded into "operating costs"
• Any reserve amount beyond the cap described above

How our partner foundation(s) are independent

Each partner foundation is a separate legal entity from LifeChoices. Funds routed to our partner foundation(s) are spent on classrooms, teachers, books, and program operations — never on marketing for LifeChoices itself, consistent with our Charter. The current partner foundation supporting this work is described on our Impact page; the legal disclosure stays generic so that we can add, remove, or change partner foundations without amending this document.

How you can verify this

Each annual report will state five numbers, so the "100%" commitment can be checked rather than just trusted:

1. Gross subscription revenue for the period
2. Total operating costs, broken out by the categories listed above
3. The working-capital reserve balance at the start and end of the period, and any draw-downs
4. The amount routed to our partner foundation(s)
5. A summary of how our partner foundation(s) spent what they received

The annual report will be published on the LifeChoices website. The first report will be available after the close of our first full reporting period and once our partner foundation(s) complete their own registration filings.

What this disclosure is not

This disclosure is not a guarantee of tax-deductibility for your subscription payment. LifeChoices LLC is a Florida for-profit company, not a tax-exempt organization. A LifeChoices subscription is payment for a service, not a charitable donation, and your subscription payment is not tax-deductible, even though a portion of the proceeds supports a charitable purpose.

Changes to our fund-routing commitment

If we ever change the percentage, formula, or the partner foundation(s) receiving this commitment, we will announce the change on this page and notify active subscribers by email at least 30 days before it takes effect, along with the reason for the change.
