PER EVENT
Drill Sponsor
Funds one drill: venue, PT shirts, chow, materials. Recognition is a mono credit line on that drill's schedule card. The entry ask for local businesses, gyms, and running clubs.
SEC 24 / SPONSORS
FUND THE WORK. SEE THE RESULT.
Drill Zero never sells sympathy. Your gift funds the work itself, in concrete units: a drill run end to end, a Recruit carried through certification, a published report, a family kept steady. Every sponsor gets results back, not a thank-you card.
SELF-FUNDED TODAY · NOT ACCEPTING DONATIONS YET
Drill Zero is self-funded right now. We are not accepting donations, and we won't until federal recognition lands and every gift can come with a proper tax-deductible receipt. The tiers below are what giving will fund the day it opens.
Want the first call? Get on the Advance Party list below.
SEC 25 / THE ADVANCE PARTY
Get on the list.
The advance party moves out ahead of the main body and sets up before everyone else arrives. Future sponsors, donors, and partner organizations: leave your name now. No money changes hands today. When donations open, you get the first call.
SEC 25 / THE UNITS
Four ways in.
PER RECRUIT
Cert Sponsor
Funds one Recruit's full path to Drill Zero Certification as it stands up with the first formal drills: drills, fitness testing, materials, and packet support. You get recognition in program materials and an anonymized outcome note when a sponsored Recruit certifies. Identities stay protected, always.
PER QUARTER
Baseline Underwriter
Funds a quarterly Baseline report as the program stands up. First report publishes after the first Graduates file, with your credit on the cover of a public report anyone can cite.
RECURRING
Watch Sustainer
Funds the check-in calls and the driveway visits as the network stands up: one named Cadre, one specific household, on a schedule, while their Soldier trains or deploys.
SEC 26 / THE SHIP-DAY FIFTY
Fifty dollars ships one Recruit right.
ELIGIBILITY VERIFIED · AS FUNDS ALLOW
Recruits are told to ship to Basic with only a small amount of cash, no more than about fifty dollars. Some cannot cover even that. The Ship-Day Fifty closes the gap: we verify eligibility, then put the fifty in a shipping Recruit's pocket, as funds allow. The fund moves one way, and no Recruit is ever asked for anything.
It is the smallest concrete unit we offer a donor, and one of the most direct.
The lines we hold.
We do not accept sponsorships from political organizations, or from alcohol, tobacco, vape, gambling, or payday-lending businesses. Sponsors never receive recruit, roster, or family data. No exceptions, no workarounds.
Drill Zero is a South Carolina nonprofit, federal 501(c)(3) recognition in progress. We do not claim tax-deductible status until the IRS grants it, and we will say so plainly the day that changes. Everything Drill Zero does is free for recruits.
