The Power of Daily Deposits: A Community United for Kut Different Academy

The Daily Deposit Fundraiser wasn’t just a campaign; it was a statement.

It was a challenge to ourselves, to our supporters, and to our entire community: Can we truly come together to build something that changes lives?

Two weeks ago, you answered that question with a resounding YES.

We didn’t just celebrate my birthday; we sparked a movement. People tuned in, shared the vision, prayed, donated, showed up on the live, and most importantly… they believed.

Together, we passed our first major milestone: 100 people made a Daily Deposit of $100.

That’s 100 individuals saying:

“I believe in the power of mentorship.”“I believe our young men deserve more.”“I believe in Kut Different Academy.”

But here’s the truth.

Our ultimate goal is 1,000 people. And while that number might seem big at first glance, let’s break it down.

1,000 People in Perspective

There are over 400,000 people living in Marion County.

And 1,000 people? That’s just 0.25% of our population.

Not even 1%. Not even half a percent. Just a quarter of a percent.

When you look at it like that, it’s clear:

1,000 people isn’t a lot. It’s more than possible.

But what holds us back is mindset. We see numbers like that and get scared. We hesitate. We assume someone else will do it. We doubt that our small part matters.

But at Kut Different, we’re building something that says otherwise. We’re not just talking about being different. We’re showing it. We preach to our boys about accountability, about courage, about pushing past fear and leading with purpose. And if we’re going to hold them to that standard, then we have to live by it too.

Because this isn’t about charity, it’s about legacy.

What is a Daily Deposit?

The Daily Deposit isn’t just about giving money. It’s about showing up.

It’s a mindset. It’s the belief that every single day, we should do something to get better... to grow, to give, to build, to lead. Whether that’s investing in ourselves, our families, our businesses, or in this case, our future leaders.

When you make a Daily Deposit to this campaign, you’re helping us:

- Complete the geotechnical and environmental surveys

- Begin architectural and engineering plans

- Bring the vision of Kut Different Academy to life

This school isn’t a thought anymore. IT'S HAPPENING.

And we’re inviting everyone to be a part of building it from the ground up. To become a community united for Kut Different Academy.

$100 to Build a Clear Path to Success

We spend $100 on all kinds of things: shoes, dinners, nights out.

But $100 to build a school that creates a clear path to success, a school that shows young men who they are and where they’re going? A school rooted in structure, discipline, self-discovery, and exposure?

That’s the easiest investment you’ll ever make.

And whether you give $100 or $10, you're helping build a future where every young man has a real shot at success. A future where the school-to-prison pipeline is replaced with a school-to-career pipeline.

This Is Just the Beginning. If you’ve already made your Daily Deposit, thank you. You are now a part of the story.

And if you haven’t yet... there’s still time. Help us reach the next 100. Then the next. Until we hit 1,000 and beyond.

This is about showing the world what happens when a community comes together, believes in its youth, and decides to be different.

We are a community united for Kut Different Academy.

Let’s keep going.

Let’s build Kut Different Academy.
