Who does what, and where the money comes from.

No. Schools pay nothing. Applying is free and so is the kit. If nobody buys, nothing arrives and nothing is owed.

5% of qualifying monthly spend. On an account spending more than $250,000 a month, 7% applies to the portion above $250,000. Kithix never sends more for a referral than it received for that referral, so on some services the donation can be less than the published share. That limit is the payout cap. Qualifying spend is recurring services; one-time hardware and fees do not count. The written agreement says which services qualify.

That depends on who is in your community and what you raise now, and on the size of the projects. Internet access for one office, at $1,500 a month, models at $225 a quarter, about $900 a year. A $15,000-a-month AI rollout models at $2,250 a quarter, about $9,000 a year. A $50,000-a-month move to the cloud models at $7,500 a quarter, about $30,000 a year. Set that beside what your biggest fundraiser clears, and remember that nothing starts until a company buys and pays.

Every quarter, after the referred company’s invoices are paid, for as long as the referral stays active. Kithix sends a donation only after it has been paid for that referral. Where the donation goes is set up privately once you are accepted, never on a public form.

The first donation arrives only after a company buys, is invoiced, and pays. Plan on months, not weeks. Nothing is sent when you apply or when an IT buyer shares a project, and no start date is guaranteed. Leave it out of the budget until the first one lands.

Donations from that referral stop when the service is canceled or its invoices stop being paid. Your other referrals are not affected. No annual amount is guaranteed.

Kithix does not describe it as one. The organization receives a donation from Kithix under a written agreement. The company is paying a supplier at its normal price, not making a gift. Kithix does not give tax advice. Ask your accountant how to record it.

No. Every donation figure on this site is worked out from the published share and an example monthly spend. Any example companies or project sizes, restaurant-night comparisons, or line items of what a donation could cover are illustrations. None is a forecast, and none is a result from a real organization. What arrives depends on a referred company buying, paying its invoices, and staying a customer.

No. The company pays the supplier its normal price. The supplier side pays Kithix for the introduction, and the donation comes out of that. Nothing is added to the company’s invoice, and Kithix is never on it.

Yes. Kithix is new. No school organization has a result to show yet, so none is named here, and there are no testimonials. What you can check today is how the money moves, the published share, the terms, and who answers the email: hello@kithix.com goes to Amber Nash, the founder.

No. Nobody pays to join, there are no levels, and nobody earns from anyone beneath them. The parents you invite are never asked to sell anything or to invite anyone else. If one of their companies buys, the organization receives a donation.

The school organization does, or a parent does, with the invitation in the kit. Kithix does not call an IT buyer to sell. The buyer opens the school’s link, shares a project, and decides whether to talk to any supplier Kithix introduces.

The organization sees the donation amount and which referral it came from. It never sees the contract, the pricing, or the invoices. What an IT buyer writes about a project goes to Kithix, and to a supplier only if the buyer chooses to talk to that supplier.

Yes. Kithix works with school organizations and companies in the United States.

It can look like one if you keep it quiet, so do not keep it quiet. The donation goes to the school organization, never to you, and it comes out of what the supplier side pays Kithix, not out of your company’s price.

No. Kithix does not sell, resell, quote, or mark anything up. The company buys direct from the supplier under its own procurement process. Kithix is never on the contract or the invoice. It makes the introduction, and the supplier side pays it for that.

Yes, always. Approvals, due diligence, security review, contracting: all of it applies as usual. An introduction from Kithix replaces none of it. The buyer decides whether a supplier fits.

A listing means Kithix can introduce an IT buyer to that supplier. It is not an endorsement, and it says nothing about quality, price, or fit. An introduction narrows the field to suppliers that match the project. The IT buyer evaluates them and decides.

Three things, and two of them happen once. Apply. If you are accepted, an officer signs the written agreement and completes private setup. Then invite the parents and neighbors who make technology decisions at work, using the messages in the kit. You do not sell anything, staff a table, collect money, or send invoices. Kithix makes the introductions and sends the donation.

No. A group does not need 501(c)(3) status. PTOs, PTAs, athletic and band boosters, theater, choir, and other school clubs can all apply, whether or not they are registered charities. Once accepted, the organization gives its legal name, a W-9, and where to send the donation through a private setup step, never on a public form.

You hear back by email within three business days. Applying does not start anything by itself: nothing goes out to families, and nothing is owed either way. If you are accepted, an officer signs the written agreement and completes private setup, and then Kithix emails your school’s link.

Then this will not replace your bake sale, and we would rather you knew that now. Ask around before you decide. It does not take a CIO: a parent who buys internet, phones, cloud, security, or AI for an employer counts. Small projects count too: internet access at $1,500 a month models at $225 a quarter, about $900 a year. If you honestly have none, keep the catalog.

Those ask families to buy things. Kithix asks nobody in your school community to buy anything. It starts with a technology purchase a company has already planned and budgeted, and the donation comes from the supplier side, not from a family’s wallet.

It is the same idea at a different size. On restaurant night (some schools call it Spirit Night), people buy a dinner they were going to buy anyway and the school gets a share. Here the purchase is a company’s technology, and the donation comes every quarter while the referral stays active instead of ending when the night does.

If they work for your school, yes. Kithix does not replace the events people enjoy, and it never asks families to give or buy. The aim is to let you drop the fundraisers nobody enjoys.

You can still start. Tell us which school you want to support. We will reach out to its parent organization so the donation can go to them.

Kithix reads what the buyer wrote and introduces suppliers that fit. The buyer decides whether to talk to any of them. Nothing is bought through Kithix, and Kithix does not call the buyer to sell. No response time is promised.

That is fine. Nobody is asked to replace a contract that works. The buyer can share something else: a renewal that is coming up, a replacement, or a new project that is already in the budget. They decide what fits and buy from whoever they choose.
