The 100% Model

When PSSF began, we made a bold promise: 100% of public donations would go directly to fund scholarships and programs for Palestinian students. Since we treat scholarships and operations as completely separate - separate purposes, separate fundraising goals, and separate bank accounts - we can guarantee that every public dollar donated helps provide educational opportunities for Palestinian students in need. Our Board members personally cover all operational costs, ensuring this promise remains unbreakable. And so far, we've awarded 3,300+ scholarships across 10 universities in Palestine, supporting students who are determined to rebuild their futures despite unprecedented challenges.

So, how do we pay our operating expenses?

From day one, we've relied on our Board members to fund all of our operating expenses. It's not always easy, but it's an approach we believe in deeply. And year after year, our commitment to transparency inspires support from passionate donors, enthusiastic fundraisers, long-standing partners, and loyal volunteers who believe that education truly changes everything. Palestinian students deserve nothing less than 100% of what you give, and our Board ensures that promise is kept.
