Fundraiser Story
The digital economy is growing at lightning speed-but rural communities in South Carolina are being left behind. In places like Bamberg, Allendale, Winnsboro, Lee, Union, and Orangeburg, opportunity is scarce, even while over 4,000 high-paying cybersecurity jobs go unfilled across our state.
We're launching a critical initiative to change that. Each1Teach1 Tech is a registered nonprofit (501(c)(3)) preparing the next generation of cybersecurity talent from overlooked regions. With your help, we're expanding our cohort from 10 to 20 trainees due to overwhelming demand-and we're asking for your support.
Why This Campaign Matters-Now More Than Ever
Double the Opportunity: Your support helps us train 20 aspiring professionals instead of just 10.
Address the Talent Shortage:
South Carolina employers are desperate for SOC (Security Operations Center) Level I Analysts-we deliver certified, job-ready talent.
Break the Barriers:
Many of our learners don't have internet or even laptops-we provide both, free of charge.
Job Placement Guaranteed:
With partners like SC Works, GoodWill, ICF, and PC4People, over 70% of our graduates are placed into $50K+ roles.
What Your Donation Supports:
Item Cost per Trainee Total for 20 Trainees
Laptop + Internet $500 $10,000
Certification Exams $300 $6,000
5-Month Stipends $1,250 $25,000
Instructor Fees $240 $4,800
Recruitment & Support $100 $2,000
Total $2,500 $50,000
Whether you give $2,500 to fully sponsor a trainee, $500 for a laptop and internet, or any amount that moves your heart-you're helping someone launch a career, protect our businesses, and break the cycle of poverty.
Why Now?
Cybersecurity threats are escalating-our businesses can't afford to wait.
Federal and state grants are within reach, but we need to demonstrate impact now.
Without your help, 20 capable individuals will miss a life-changing opportunity.
