How Founding recognition works

One Founding 100

Founding Catalysts and Patrons are part of the same Founding 100, with additional Patron recognition.

Recurring support

An active $10/month Catalyst or $25/month Patron membership reserves your place.

Permanent recognition

Catalyst recognition becomes permanent after $100 in total support; Patron recognition after $250 through the Patron level.

One-time support

Contributions of $100+ qualify immediately as a Catalyst; $250+ as a Patron.

Your choice

Be listed by name, household name, initials, or anonymously.

Questions

Does supporting the project unlock additional materials?
No. Educational resources remain freely available. Founding support helps make that possible.
When will my name appear among the Founding 100?
The list is updated manually each weekday. It may take 24 hours to update.
What happens if I cancel recurring support?
Once you reach the applicable permanent-recognition threshold, your Founding recognition remains even if you later cancel.
Can I contribute more than the listed amount?
Absolutely. The listed amounts are minimums for Catalyst and Patron recognition.
Is my contribution tax deductible?
Cole Teaches Chemistry does not represent Founding support as a tax-deductible charitable contribution.
