Jump‑start the tea‑bus proof of concept that blossoms into permanent Communitea Houses—multi‑service hubs rooted at the borders of served and underserved neighborhoods.

The Mobile Communitea House is our living prototype: a classroom, teahouse, and pop‑up resource center on wheels. Your gift finishes the solar‑powered build, funds a support vehicle, and outfits dual service stations (gongfu + boba) for on‑site training and revenue. Once routes prove demand, the same fund rolls into acquiring brick‑and‑mortar Communitea Houses—anchoring marketplaces, greenhouses, and coworking space that keep resources circulating “one cup at a time” and “grown together.”

Pay forward teachers who learn by serving. Scholarships and mentor stipends turn our mobile hub and partner schools into residency sites where the neighborhood writes the syllabus.

We seed new educators through an Alternative Route to Certification that treats the community itself as the classroom. Funds cover tuition, living stipends, mentor honoraria, and teaching materials. Residents split time between local schools and the Mobile Communitea House, mastering cross‑cultural, CTE, and world‑language instruction while delivering real services—“education by the Village, for the Village.” Graduates step into stable jobs, and the endowment keeps the pipeline flowing year after year.

Fuel two‑way cultural exchanges—Seattle, Detroit, Taipei, Kathmandu, rural Washington, and beyond—linking partners at home and abroad through homestays, joint projects, and shared stories.

True connection rarely fits inside a Zoom window. Its not enough to just travel to a place. The last great frontier is the space between two people. This fund underwrites travel, homestays, curriculum, and facilitation for students, artisans, educators, and elders who cross‑pollinate skills and perspectives. Programs run both directions: U.S. communities visit partner farms and schools in Taiwan, Japan, and Nepal, while those partners embed with us stateside. We also scout new domestic sites each cycle so the web keeps widening—proving that “the last great frontier is the space between two people.”

Plant capital that stays rooted: micro‑grants, incubator space, profit‑share for staff, and co‑op stakes for neighbors—closing the loop between revenue and shared wealth.

Every dollar should work twice: once to power a business, once to nourish its community. Your contribution seeds our incubator, shared tools, and micro‑loans for startup vendors inside Communitea marketplaces. In return, for‑profit partners pledge 10 % of gross sales to the nonprofit, staff earn profit‑share, and neighborhood members can buy co‑op shares that unlock price relief, service credits, and annual dividends. The loop keeps us additive—not extractive—so growth strengthens, rather than cannibalizes, the ecosystem.
