About
Coordinating global capital for education
EduAid DAO was founded in 2024 by a team of educators, engineers, and onchain builders convinced that the next billion students deserve a better funding rail.
Mission-first
Every dollar should reach a student — measured, audited, on-chain.
Student-centric
Applications take minutes, not weeks. No fees, ever.
Borderless
We support students and funders in 80+ countries with stablecoin rails.
Collective
DAOs replace gatekeepers with transparent, weighted community decisions.
Our story
EduAid started after our founders watched dozens of brilliant students miss out on funding because of opaque committees and slow paperwork. We built EduAid to replace bureaucracy with code: contributors pool capital into a DAO treasury, and the community votes on every program.
Today we work with foundations, universities and corporate donors across four continents, with millions disbursed and a 99.4% on-time payment rate.
