Help keep SoberHub free

SoberHub is a free recovery reading app with no ads, no subscriptions and no data sales. It's run by a small California nonprofit. If you've been invited to support this work, thank you for taking a look. This page explains how to give, where gifts go and what they pay for.

Other ways to give

  • Zelle. Send to give@soberhub.life (SoberHub). There are no fees. Zelle doesn't send a receipt, so we email you one.
  • Donor-advised fund (DAF). Recommend a grant to SoberHub, EIN 33-3208860. Most DAF sites find us by name or EIN. If yours asks for an address, email give@soberhub.life.
  • Stock. Give appreciated stock through our Every.org page, or email give@soberhub.life and we'll set it up with you.
  • From an IRA (age 70½ or older). A qualified charitable distribution can go straight from your IRA to SoberHub. Ask your IRA administrator, and use our name and EIN above.
  • Employer matching. Many employers match gifts to 501(c)(3) charities. Check with your HR team or giving portal.

Where your gift goes

Your gift funds the people, tools and infrastructure that keep SoberHub free:

  • Running costs. Servers, cloud data services, domains and app-store developer accounts.

  • Recording equipment. Studio microphones, a field recorder, singing bowls and acoustic treatment, so we can produce new audio editions and guided meditations ourselves.

  • People. In time, paid staff for engineering, audio production and support, set by our board.

What your gift does

$100
a month of servers, cloud services and app-store fees
$2,000
a professional singing bowl for guided meditations, or the field recorder that captures it
$2,600
a matched pair of AKG C414 studio microphones
$20,000
the complete recording studio, built once and used for every new audio edition
$25,000 or more

Amounts are examples; we use gifts where they're needed most. Monthly gifts of any size help us plan.

Questions

Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes, in the US, to the extent allowed by law. SoberHub is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 33-3208860), and every gift gets a written receipt. Gifts from outside the US are welcome but usually aren't deductible in your country.
Will you list my name anywhere?
Only if you ask us to. By default, gifts are private.
Do donors get anything in the app?
No. The app is the same for everyone: no ads, no donor badges, no paid features.
Does a gift buy placement, referrals or influence?
No. Gifts never buy listings, placement, referrals, advertising or a say in the app's content.
Can I give monthly, and stop any time?
Yes. Choose the monthly option on PayPal or Every.org. You can cancel any time from your PayPal or Every.org account, or by writing to us.
Who decides how the money is used?
Our board. We use gifts where they're needed most and are happy to tell you what yours paid for.
Is SoberHub part of a recovery fellowship?
No. SoberHub is an independent nonprofit and is not affiliated with any recovery fellowship.
