You can see a full breakdown on our Donate page.
Q: Can I give on a monthly basis?

We publish formal Impact Papers documenting each phase of the program — outcomes, metrics, and milestones. Monthly donors receive a quarterly impact email. You can also follow Associate stories on our social channels and Impact section.
Q: What is a POD?
A Portable Online Development center — or POD — is a self-contained economic hub installed in a remote community. Each POD includes solar power, Starlink satellite internet, secure professional workspaces, and access to our AI-assisted training platform. It’s the physical foundation that everything else is built on.

100% graduation rate across all cohorts · 80% success rate in Phase 2 Associate cohorts · 40+ Associates trained across Kenya and Haiti · 4 active U.S. client partnerships · David Connor Trinitech Center (100-person facility) opened February 2026.

Q: Is this program donation-dependent long-term?
No. Project Trinitē is designed as infrastructure that generates its own economic output. The model flows from initial investment into capability, production, revenue, and reinvestment — becoming increasingly self-sustaining as each hub matures. Donations fund the installation phase; the infrastructure funds everything after.
Q: How scalable is the model?
The modular POD design can be replicated in any community with Starlink coverage. We currently operate in Kenya and Haiti with expansion underway in South Africa. Our 3–5 year target is 1,000+ Associates across multiple regions worldwide.
Q: Are audited financials available?
[TBD — confirm with Dave Connor and Howard Kelman whether audited financials are available and the preferred method for sharing with funders.]
Q: What does "Trinitē" mean?
[TBD — confirm the official answer with leadership.]
Q: How did Project Trinitē start?
Project Trinitē was founded at the intersection of two global shifts: Starlink making high-speed satellite internet possible in remote communities, and COVID proving that the world could work remotely. The founders recognized that geography no longer had to define economic destiny — and asked what it would take to connect a remote community directly to the global economy. The answer became the POD model.
Q: What is a POD?
A Portable Online Development center — a self-contained economic hub installed in a remote community. Each POD provides solar power, Starlink connectivity, secure professional workspaces, and access to AI-assisted training. It isn’t a classroom. It’s a working economic engine.
Q: How can I get involved?
There are several ways: donate to support the mission, hire our Associates, volunteer your professional skills, explore corporate sponsorship, or share our story with someone who should hear it. Visit our Get Involved page for all the options.
Q: How do I contact Project Trinitē?
