Support Rational Animations

Yes! Rational Animations Inc. is a US-based 501(c)(3) charity (EIN: 99-1838037). 

For US taxpayers, donations are generally tax-deductible thanks to our 501(c)(3) status. Outside the US, tax treatment depends on your country's rules. 

Your donation helps us make high-quality educational videos and release them for free on YouTube.

Most of our budget goes directly into video production: paying artists, writers, production managers, sound designers, and other collaborators. With more funding, we can hire more people, which helps us improve the quality of our videos and release them faster.

Most of our current budget comes from grants, especially from Coefficient Giving. That support makes our work possible, and we’re deeply grateful for it. But grants are not guaranteed forever.

Donations help us build a broader, more stable base of support, so we can plan ahead and diversify our sources of funding.

Maybe, depending on the donation method and amount. Please contact us first at business@rationalanimations.com so we can confirm whether we’re able to accept it. 

Yes. You should receive a receipt by email after donating. Please keep it for your records, especially if you plan to claim a tax deduction.
