Starlink introduces a donation website
Customers can donate a terminal and services on a donation page. The donation page was announced by Musk in October.
There are four categories that donated kits and services will be applied to:
Education:
Starlink will help students and teachers and give access to online services and resources for rural communities, especially those historically unserved by traditional internet service providers
Starlink has a goal of connecting over 500,000 students.

Telehealth
There will be remote access to healthcare and medical services for patients in underserved areas. Emergency response. Disasters such as hurricanes, fires, and flooding have led to the deployment of Starlink many times.
Emergency Response
Starlink is proud to support and prioritize service for emergency responders around the globe.
Humanitarian efforts.
There are areas impacted by conflict or crises. There are two ways to donate. When donating to a Starlink cause, the donation will be given to the areas of greatest need across the four categories. One can choose an organization to donate to. To make a donation, donors need to confirm that the organization is in a good area by checking the availability map, contacting the organization to make sure it is willing to accept the donation, and then placing an order for Starlink RV on behalf of the organization. Three levels of donations give donors a choice of one, two, or three years of service, along with the kit.

There is a frequently asked questions page that addresses topics such as why it's enabling donations, how it selects beneficiaries and where one's "Any Cause" donation goes for donors who want to see how their donations make an impact. Once a donation has been made, Starlink said that it will apply it as quickly as possible to one of the four categories or extend or continue services for communities or organizations in need that are already using the service.
