A clear plan for every campaign dollar.
The Celia Fund is committed to showing donors how the $75,000 founding campaign is currently planned to support loan capital, secure technology, educator outreach, responsible operations, and fiscal sponsorship.
The founding campaign at a glance
These percentages are current planning targets. They describe how campaign funds are expected to be allocated and are not a report of completed spending.
Planned for loan capital and platform development
This combines the planned loan-capital allocation with the one-time work needed to build a secure lending platform.
Planned for outreach, operations, and fiscal sponsorship
These areas help the organization reach qualifying public educators, operate responsibly, and administer charitable donations.
Planned for investor returns or private profit
No campaign funds are planned for private-investor returns or distributions of profit.
The founding-campaign dollar, visually
The current plan divides the campaign among five areas needed to build and launch a responsible emergency-loan program.
These percentages are current budget targets, not completed spending or guaranteed final allocations. Actual amounts may vary as campaign revenue, platform costs, sponsor terms, and operating needs become known.
Planned allocation by category
Each target supports a distinct part of building and launching the program for qualifying public educators.
Loan capital
Planned funding for the first rounds of low-interest emergency loans for qualifying public educators in Central Texas.
Applications are not open yet. Eligibility requirements and loan terms will be published before the program launches.
Lending-platform development
Planned funding for secure applications, document review, loan management, repayment tracking, privacy, and financial oversight.
Platform development is expected to be concentrated in the startup period rather than repeated at the same level in every future campaign.
Educator outreach and marketing
Planned funding to help qualifying public educators and relevant community partners learn about the future program, its eligibility requirements, and how to participate.
Outreach will also help donors and partners understand the revolving-loan model and current launch status.
Administration and operations
Planned funding for leadership, accounting, legal guidance, insurance, technology, recordkeeping, and other basic operating needs.
These functions support responsible stewardship, accurate records, and a dependable applicant and donor experience.
Fiscal sponsorship and donation administration
The Givinga Foundation serves as The Celia Fund’s fiscal sponsor. The current plan reserves this share for fiscal-sponsorship and related charitable-donation administration costs.
This is a budget target, not a statement that the current contractual sponsor or platform fee is guaranteed to equal exactly 5%. Actual costs may vary under current sponsor and platform terms.
How transparency will continue
A planning budget is the starting point. Future reporting should distinguish projected allocation from actual revenue, expenses, and lending activity.
Future updates will separate targets from spending.
As campaign funds are received and used, The Celia Fund can report how actual activity compares with these current founding-campaign targets.
Allocation targets may change with real operating data.
Future budgets may shift as platform costs become known, sponsor terms change, the first loan rounds begin, and The Celia Fund learns what responsible operation requires.
Help build practical educator support responsibly.
Your donation helps fund the first loan rounds, secure lending-platform development, outreach, operations, and other work needed to serve qualifying public educators.
