Our Story: Journey Through Time

Discover the vision and the dedicated individuals propelling the Time Traveler Fund into the future.

Who We Are

The Time Traveler Fund is a visionary non-profit organization established in 2025 in Longview, Texas. We are a new, fast-growing entity with an ambitious mission: to revolutionize education by blending history, technology, and imaginative storytelling.

Our core belief is that learning should be an adventure. Through cutting-edge AR and VR experiences, inspirational narratives, and community engagement, we transform traditional education into captivating "edutainment." We make history tangible, science exciting, and the future accessible to all.

Every product we create and every dollar we raise is channeled towards empowering schools, honoring veterans, and strengthening families, providing them with tools that cultivate courage, creativity, and character. We strive to remind the world that time is our most invaluable resource, and how we utilize it defines our legacy.

"Time is our most precious gift, and what we do with it defines us."

Our Purpose & Promise

At the heart of the Time Traveler Fund lies a powerful dual purpose: to address critical societal challenges and to ignite a movement of discovery and empowerment.

Addressing Key Challenges

  • Educational Disengagement: We combat outdated lessons by making history, science, and personal growth vibrant through AR/VR edutainment.
  • Disconnection and Division: We foster unity through shared stories, experiences, and patriotic inspiration, reminding everyone of what binds us.
  • Lack of Purpose and Hope: Our programs instill self-belief, responsibility, and gratitude, helping individuals rediscover their purpose and role in shaping the future.

Our Enduring Promise

Our commitment extends to three core groups:

  • Students & Schools: Immersive AR/VR educational adventures to make learning exciting and accessible, especially in underserved areas.
  • Veterans & First Responders: Care packages, recognition, and virtual experiences celebrating courage, sacrifice, and enduring legacy.
  • Families & Communities: Opportunities to learn and dream together through unique activities and outreach, strengthening bonds and shared educational journeys.

We're transforming technology, imagination, and history into powerful tools that educate, unite, and inspire.

Our Journey So Far & Beyond

From our humble beginnings in East Texas, specifically focusing on Longview, Kilgore, and surrounding communities, the Time Traveler Fund has already achieved significant milestones and harbors grand ambitions.

Key Achievements

  • Officially established as a nonprofit with an EIN, UEI number, and business bank account at Texas Bank & Trust.
  • Developed a robust creative foundation, including videos, storytelling campaigns, and AR/VR "edutainment" concepts.
  • Forged crucial partnerships with Texas Bank & Trust, and are building connections with local museums, schools, and businesses.

Our Expanding Horizon

Our initial focus is establishing the flagship Time Traveler Gift Shop and AR/VR Learning Center in Longview. From there, our vision is boundless—expanding across Texas and the entire United States. We aim to create a national model for educational innovation, bringing our AR and VR learning adventures, family-friendly experiences, and veteran appreciation initiatives to communities nationwide.

Our long-term goal is to prove that big dreams can indeed start in small towns and travel through time, inspiring and uplifting people in every state.
