House rules for this website.

1. About ImpactKits
The ImpactKits Project (“ImpactKits,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a student-led community service initiative focused on making compassion actionable through essential supplies, care kits, and community support.
ImpactKits operates with support from the Hack Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves as its fiscal sponsor. ImpactKits is not a separately incorporated nonprofit organization. References to ImpactKits in these terms refer to the initiative and its activities, rather than a separate legal entity.
