CyberAcad Is Now a Recognized 501(c)(3) Public Charity

We're proud to share a milestone that makes everything else more durable: CyberAcad is now a recognized 501(c)(3) public charity under U.S. law, with EIN 41-5007585.

What this actually means

  • Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. If you give to CyberAcad, you can deduct it — and every dollar goes toward keeping cybersecurity education free for students.
  • We're accountable. 501(c)(3) status comes with real obligations around how a nonprofit is governed and how its money is used. We take that seriously.
  • The mission is protected. CyberAcad exists to serve students, not shareholders. Formal nonprofit status locks that in.

Why it matters for a project like ours

CyberAcad started as an idea between two students who noticed that cybersecurity simply isn't taught in most schools. Becoming a registered public charity means that idea is now something bigger than any one of us — an organization that can accept support, partner with schools, and keep the lights on for the long haul.

How you can help

We keep the platform free and browser-based on purpose: no expensive hardware, no gatekeeping, just a laptop and curiosity. Donations are what make "free forever" sustainable.

  • Donate — support free cybersecurity education directly. Tax-deductible.
  • Join a program — students learn for free.
  • Spread the word — tell a student, teacher, or parent who should know about us.

Thank you to everyone who has supported CyberAcad on the way to this milestone. We're just getting started.

CyberAcad is free, browser-based cybersecurity education for the next generation. Start today.
