Keep it free for every student.
Cole's Study Guides is a nonprofit project. Nobody pays to use it, and nobody ever will. Every guide costs a little to make, and donations are what cover it.
Where the money goes
Writing each guide uses Anthropic's Claude, which is billed per guide. The rest is hosting and the domain name. That is the whole budget.
What it will never fund
No ads, no paid tier, no selling data. Donations pay for guides for students, and nothing else.
Open books
Income and spending are published on this page once donations open, so you can see exactly what your support did.
What a donation does
A guide takes about a minute to write and costs a small amount in AI usage. A donation the price of a coffee covers a batch of guides. Larger donations cover exam season, when far more guides get made.
Other ways to help
- Share a guide. Every guide added to the library helps the next student who has the same test.
- Tell a teacher. Teachers can point a whole class at it. Ask them to try it on their own handout first.
- Report mistakes. Every library guide has a report button. Using it keeps the library trustworthy.
