The Launch League Builders Wall
Built by Ontario.
Built by people who believe Ontario's next generation is worth investing in. A person, a family, a class, a business: anyone can become a Builder. Choose an amount, type the name you want on the wall, and you get a permanent Builder number.
The first 1,000 Builders
Before there were thousands of students, there were people who believed it should exist
Become one of the first 1,000 people, families and businesses to help build Launch League. Your number is permanent, and being early is the one thing nobody can buy later.
Nobody has a number yet. The first public one is #0101.
Back a Builder
$10 a month keeps opportunities open to young people month after month. Your name and number on the wall, marked as backing monthly. Cancel whenever you like.
$25 to $2,000. Your tile follows the amount. Above that, it's a Legacy Builder, arranged by invoice.
What goes on your tile

Your name here
Launch League is a for-profit company. Support payments are not charitable donations, are not tax deductible, and no charitable tax receipt is issued.
Prices include HST/GST. Payments are handled by Stripe; we never see your card. Every tile is read by a person before it goes up, and your number is yours either way. Monthly backing can be cancelled any time from Stripe's receipt or by writing to admin@launchleague.ca.
The wall
Every Builder, in order
Numbers are given in the order people joined and never change. Every tile is read by a person before it goes up.
The wall is empty, for now.
The first public number is #0101. Whoever takes it keeps it.

From the $250 tile up, a tile can be in honour of somebody, with a line of your own.

One day, a real one
Thousands of small tiles that make up the mark
When Launch League has a building of its own, the plan is to put this wall in it: small engraved tiles that together form the Launch League logo, each with a number and a name. Every number given here carries over.

What it helps fund
Where it goes
- Keeping student access free
- Technology and curriculum
- Student awards and prizes
- Community pitch events
- Mentors and judges
- Workshops and career days
- Bringing the program into more Ontario communities
We won't claim a given amount pays for exactly one student, because we can't prove it. Every other way to support Launch League.
- Is this a donation?
- No. Launch League is a for-profit company, on purpose: it can move quickly and use paid work to fund the free work. A Builder payment is support for that company, not a charitable gift, and there is no tax receipt.
- Can I stay anonymous?
- Yes. You still get a number. The tile says “Anonymous” and nothing else.
- What happened to #0001 to #0100?
- They are kept back, to be given by hand to the people who helped before there was anything to pay for.
- When does my tile appear?
- Once someone has read it, usually within a few days. Your number is fixed the moment you pay, whether the tile is up yet or not.
- Can I change it later?
- Write to admin@launchleague.ca. Spelling, a town, a dedication: fine. The number stays the same.
