The mentor picks a share
In their profile the mentor chooses how much of their fee goes to a foundation: 5, 10, 15 percent or the whole amount. Taking part is voluntary, and the share can be changed or withdrawn at any time.
Mentors share morethan experience
part of their fee, too
Every United Mentors mentor can direct part of their fee to a charitable foundation. Here we show how much has been collected and where it went — with scans of the payment orders.
The programme is getting ready to launch. Once the first transfer goes through, its amount and payment confirmation will appear here.
How it works
Nothing complicated and nothing taken on trust: the share is chosen by the mentor, withheld automatically and confirmed by a document.
We withhold it at payment
When a client pays for mentorship, we calculate the share of the mentor's fee and set it aside. The price for the client does not change — it is the same for mentors who take part and those who do not.
We transfer once a month
Everything accumulated over the month goes to the foundation in a single payment. Small transfers get eaten by fees, so we collect and send them together.
We publish the payment order
Every transfer appears on this page together with a scan of the payment order. Everything can be verified — otherwise a programme like this makes no sense.

The full list of payments to foundations. Each one comes with a payment order that you can open and check.
There have been no transfers in the international programme yet. The first payment and its confirmation will appear here as soon as the programme begins.
What matters to understand
This is the mentor's money, not a markup
The donation is withheld from the mentor's fee at their own instruction. The client pays exactly what they would pay without the programme.
The mentor does not pay tax out of pocket
The share is calculated on the fee after the tax reserve: we always leave the mentor the amount needed to pay their tax. Even at a “whole fee” share they never go negative.
The service fee is not involved
We do not take charity money out of our own commission, and we do not reduce payouts to mentors who are not in the programme.
A refund cancels the accrual
If a client is refunded before the money has gone to the foundation, the accrual is cancelled. Only what was actually transferred appears in the report.
