accent$300 raised of our $500 phase one goal
Our full sprint goal is $5,000. We start at $500 and stretch the goal every time we hit a milestone — so every donation visibly moves the bar. This page updates as donations come in.
- $500 — Phase one: Inaugural Austin Ambassador & Google Play Closed Testers
- $1,500 — Austin launch materials & QR Certified venue kits
- $3,000 — Three new city guides + ambassador stipends
- $5,000 — Full sprint goal — national rollout groundwork
Why we're sprinting
Every dollar goes into verifying safe spaces, shipping the Android beta, and putting new city guides in the hands of queer travelers. Community-built, community-owned.
Back the sprintThe reel our community is sharing
This one took off online — Keith on why safe-space mapping can't wait, and what the next 30 days unlock. Watch it, then share it with three people who travel.
