Become a NestPilot Sponsor

NestPilot Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (501(c)(3) (filing in progress)). Foundation tools and seminars are free for the public, always — made possible by the generous donations of people like you. Every donor becomes a NestPilot Sponsor: one service tier for everyone, recognition for the donors who fund it.

Why your donation matters

The Foundation does not charge for tools, seminars, or educational content. There is no “Pro tier” to unlock, no upsell, no advisor referral, no follow-up sales call. Every dollar funds a free public good — and every person who needs the tools gets the same access, regardless of whether they donated. NestPilot Sponsors make that promise sustainable.

What NestPilot Sponsors receive

Recognition and connection — never feature unlocks. Per Foundation operating principles, all tools remain free for everyone:

  • • Listed on the supporters page (with permission)
  • • Foundation impact updates (twice a year)
  • • At $1,000+: invitation to the annual Foundation update meeting

Sponsoring on behalf of a community or organization?

HOAs, churches, libraries, employers, foundations, and corporate donors fund free seminars and tools for their community through the NestPilot Community Sponsor program. A 5-tier ladder from $500 (Community Friend) up to $10,000 (Community Champion), plus a separate Founding Community Partner tier at $25,000+ for foundations and institutional donors (limited slots).

Where your gift goes

  • Free public tools. Hosting, content updates (IRMAA brackets, Medicare deadlines, SSA rule changes), and primary-source citation maintenance.
  • Community seminars. Slide decks, attendee handouts, presenter notes, and pre/post literacy surveys — free for any HOA, church, library, or employer program.
  • Research study. 500-household longitudinal study with PhD Co-PI on whether AI-driven planning improves retirement decisions vs. static calculators.
  • Foundation operations. Legal / organizational fees, IRB compliance, peer-reviewed publication.

Give via GoFundMe

Pre-501(c)(3): donations support the Foundation's launch — legal / organizational fees, infrastructure, and the first round of education materials. Once the Foundation receives 501(c)(3) status, donations will switch to a direct, tax-deductible rail.

Open Our GoFundMe

NestPilot Foundation is 501(c)(3) (filing in progress). Pre-501(c)(3) donations via GoFundMe support the Foundation's formation and launch costs and are not tax-deductible until 501(c)(3) status is granted (with retroactive effect from formation date for IRS purposes; consult your tax advisor).
