The BranchOut! Advantage

Understanding the Investment

We often get asked: "Why is there an application fee when my school clubs are free?"
The answer is simple: Independence.

School clubs are subsidized by your local property taxes and school budgets. As a self-funded national nonprofit, BranchOut! operates independently to ensure our programming remains innovative, high-quality, and open to students regardless of which school they attend.
