Our Mission
Creating a digital space that prioritizes human wellbeing over profit
Why We're a Non-Profit
FunctionalForIt was founded on the belief that social technology should serve humanity's deeper needs for connection, meaning, and wellbeing. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we're able to prioritize these values over shareholder returns or engagement metrics that often lead to addictive design patterns.
By operating as a non-profit, we can:
- Design for human wellbeing rather than maximizing screen time
- Protect user privacy and data from being monetized
- Create a platform free from advertising and its influence on content
- Ensure all revenue goes directly toward improving the platform and expanding access
- Make mental health and self-reflection tools accessible to everyone, regardless of ability to pay
Our Funding Model
FunctionalForIt is supported through a combination of donations, grants, and optional subscriptions. We maintain complete transparency about how funds are used, with annual reports available to the public.
While basic access to the platform is free, premium features help sustain our operations while keeping the core experience accessible to everyone.
Impact Initiatives
Beyond the platform itself, we run programs that bring self-reflection and mental wellbeing tools to:
- Schools and educational institutions
- Mental health organizations
- Underserved communities
- Workplace wellness programs
