At the Aspirante Foundation we strive to achieve:
- A clear financial model. We seek to be transparent about how we spend and receive money
- A clear path for how donations are used. We seek to be transparent about how donations are used and where the money people donate is spent
- Transparency over who is in charge. We clearly identify the individuals on the board and executive team and their relevant professional and/or personal experience?
- Policies designed to minimise misuse of funds. We have clear guidelines over how the board, executive team and employees manage conflicts of interest and publicly disclose related party transactions.
The Aspirante Foundation will list the results of its activities so the public can evaluate the effectiveness of those activities to the overarching social objectives of the Aspirante Foundation.
1.3 billion people live with disabilities
without the same access to the internet
we take for granted
Your generousity can make a huge difference to help us provide assistive tools and technologies to people living with disabilities so they can become more contributing members of their communities.
Our first program is the provision of Frasil assistive software and where necessary appropriate devices (tablets, laptops and phones) and internet connectivity costs to people living with disabilities who are otherwise unable to afford this software.
The internet was built for everyone.
But many people with disabilities
are still locked out.
The Aspirante Foundation approves applicants to receive benefits from the Aspirante Foundation. The approved applicants are entered into a wait list ordered in the priority they are approved.
When you make a donation, all of your funds are directed to the next individual approved on the wait list to receive a grant from the Aspirante Foundation. There are no priorities and there are no preferences.
Help a person living with disabilities make the change to Frasil today!
What did you do in the first hour of your day?
Imagine losing all your independence
Could you have done any of the things you did during that first hour?
That is the life of many people living with disabilities
Why should you make a donation?
You will make a real difference in the life of person living with disabilities
It will make you feel good about yourself
While it improves the self-esteem of the recipient of your donation
The outcome of helping is that you feel good yourself and the recipient also feels good because they can now better connect with the world.

Financial Information
To date the Aspirante Foundation concentrated on activities of an in-kind nature without a focus on fundraising. Accordingly, only very small donations have been raised in the past.
The Aspirante Foundation is now entering into a new phase and will be more actively seeking donations in response to the demand for assistance for the acquisition of technology to improve a person’s life. The Aspirante Foundation will provide transparency of its fundraising and expenditure going forward.
