ADLG Marketing Develops Donation Engine Powering SELF 1st Foundation’s Democracy Matters Program
AUSTIN, TX – ADLG Marketing, an Austin-based digital marketing agency, announces the launch of new web pages and donation infrastructure for SELF 1st Foundation’s Democracy Matters initiative. The pages, which went live May 22, 2026, give individuals, families, businesses, and community organizations a direct way to fund AI-powered civics education for students at no cost to schools or families.
ADLG Marketing built the payment engine behind the new pages, supporting both one-time gifts and recurring donations. Donors can sponsor a single student for $50 a month over a 10-month school year, or sponsor an entire classroom of 30 students for $1,250 a month on a 12-month commitment through the Democracy Matters Community Sponsorship program. A custom one-time donation option is also available. Because SELF 1st Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3), the system automatically issues tax-deductible donation receipts electronically after each contribution.
“A donation page only works if giving feels as easy as the cause is worth caring about,” said Adrian De La Garza, founder of ADLG Marketing. “SELF 1st Foundation is putting AI civics tools directly into classrooms, and our job was to make sure the technology behind supporting that mission never gets in the way of it.”
