What is CLUTCH?
An interactive platform for urgent student emergencies.
Tuition balances, books, transportation, housing, food, medical needs, and other emergencies can interrupt a student’s education. CLUTCH, powered by Esther Funds Foundation, makes those needs visible and lets students share their preferred way to receive help.
The heart behind CLUTCH
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
GALATIANS 6:2

Proof documents and sensitive student information are submitted privately to Esther Funds Foundation. They are not displayed in the public CLUTCH deck.
Student profiles publish automatically after acknowledgment. EFF may review and remove an ineligible or inaccurate profile. Public profiles show the information a scholar chooses for their campaign, including their story and support method.
Student payment links are supplied by the student. Direct gifts are not processed, controlled, or receipted by EFF. The separate EFF donation button opens EFF’s official Givebutter campaign.
