On Oct 2nd, a group of teenagers from Mill Valley are taking on the legendary Dipsea Trail — a steep, beautiful, and grueling run from Mill Valley to Stinson Beach — to support rural education in Northern Uganda. And we are asking for your sponsorship!

We’re calling it the Power of Ten. Why?

• All funds raised go to Delta Education Collective (https://www.deltacollective.org/). Their cost effective program can support a student’s education in rural Uganda for just ten dollars a year.

• Each of us is pledging to raise at least $100, enough to support ten students for a full year.

• Collectively, with your support, the impact will scale (like a power function).

Why Delta Education?

Delta works hand-in-hand with local communities in Northern Uganda to strengthen schools from within, building long-term systems that make education accessible and empowering for all. $10 may feel small here, but it can change the course of a child’s future there.

How your gift is handled

Donations on this page go to Philanthropic Ventures Foundation (PVF), a US 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 94-3136771), US-based fiscal sponsor of Delta, and all funds are designated for Delta Education Collective.

Other donors have told us that it is important to make sure that it is set to "give once" to avoid a recurring monthly subscription. It should be set to "give once" by default, but it is easy to switch it without noticing. Thanks!

If you are a US taxpayer your donation is tax-deductible, and you will receive a tax-receipt from PayPal Giving Fund for your donation. If you are not a US taxpayer, you will still receive the same receipt, but you would need to check with your own jurisdiction about eligibility for deductions.

Sponsor a runner! Cheer us on from afar! And know that your contribution — whether $10, $100, or more — provides vital funds to support the academic and life goals of students in Uganda.

Together, we’ll make the Power of Ten a reality.
