About Us
Raise money for charity while learning awesome skills
Traditional fundraising happens when good people donate money to a cause they are passionate about. We don't mean to disrupt this in any way - fundraising is a good thing.
We're simply trying something different. Open Mastery is a learning platform focusing on text-based courses, and from non-intrusive advertising, we donate 100% of our net proceeds to charity!
Using Open Mastery is completely free, and will remain free forever. We will never push you to disable your adblocker (if you have one), but if you'd like to support our cause, we highly encourage whitelisting our website. Our non-intrusive advertising raise money for amazing causes!
Best of all, we're completely open source. Anyone can view our code, and anyone can contribute. If you'd love to help us out, find out how you can contribute.
Current Cause
Our global ecosystem is crumbling, and climate change is negatively impacting the Earth. Careless corporations continue to pollute without caring about efforts to preserve ecosystems. Luckily, there are many charities working incredibly hard to replenish destroyed ecosystems, which bring our Earth closer to the balance it deserves. Our current charity of choice:
Eden Reforestation Projects
From their website: "At the center of Eden Reforestation Projects is our relationships with local communities. We work alongside them to produce, plant, and protect tens of millions of trees every month, thereby creating jobs to support them in restoring their local environment and economy long-term. Working in extremely remote settings, our national directors lead these communities with grit and relentless determination through a range of challenges, from extreme weather and landslides, to poachers, bandits, and wild animals."

*The charities we support do not sponsor us. We carefully and independently select reputable, successful charities based on transparent financials, successful initiatives, and rating on charitynavigator.org

We value free online learning, and we want everyone to share our values. Free learning allows everyone to educate themselves, to improve their decision making ability, and empowers many to seek knowledge that may have been harder to access in the past.
