HCB Partnership Information
Shine Africa has partnered with The Hack Foundation/HCB to receive international donations in a safe, secure way. These donations are instrumental in maintaining Shine's operations and impacting the many students that visit our center every day.
Hack Club Bank (HCB) is a unique fiscal sponsorship program by The Hack Foundation, aimed at empowering nonprofits and community projects. Established in 2018, HCB simplifies the financial and administrative hurdles faced by nonprofits by providing them with a 501(c)(3) legal entity, bank account, and automatic handling of taxes and accounting. This initiative is designed to enable projects to operate globally, accept tax-deductible donations, and manage finances transparently without the burden of legal, startup, or transaction fees. Serving over 1,500 projects and processing transactions over $20 million, HCB's self-built software and dedicated support have made it a critical tool for nonprofits looking to make a substantial impact without administrative overhead.
Our partnership with Hack Club allows us to receive international donations, which was not possible before. It also grants all donations made through HCB tax-deductible in the United States.
All donations made through our donation pages are tax-deductible in the United States! They are not tax-deductible in other areas of the world. Donations made directly to Shine staff in-person or directly through Shine's Tanzanian Bank Account are not tax-deductible.
Our EIN is 81-2908499.
All donations received through our online donation portals go directly to getting more resources for the students of Shine. This may mean purchasing more computers, expanding our space, hosting more free workshops, and more. Currently, Shine Africa is a self-funded NGO and is really struggling to continue it's impactful work. Your generous donations would make a world of a difference.
If you donate directly through our HCB donation portal, you will receive an email with all information regarding your donation tax-exemption granted that you are in the U.S. If you donate through another platform, like GoFundMe, please email hcb@hackclub.com

Name the check to The Hack Foundation. Be sure to put Shine Africa Tanzania somewhere on the check so it gets routed to us!
