Gratitude and giving are two of my most favorite things. This is why the holidays are one of my favorite times of year because they’re a great reminder of all the things to be grateful for and it’s the season of giving.
I'm so grateful to work for an amazing non-profit organization, MIND Research Institute, whose mission is to ensure that all students are mathematically equipped to solve the world's most challenging problems.
As a way to express my gratitude for all the amazing work the organization has been doing over the course of its 20+ year history to transform education and close the experience gap for all learners, I’d like to invite everyone to join me in supporting MIND this holiday season.
This includes my colleagues, MIND donors and supporters, our ST Math teachers and parents, and everyone who cares about the future of STEM.
Three ways you can support MIND this holiday season are:
Did you know that you can support MIND through your Amazon purchases? By shopping on the AmazonSmile site (smile.amazon.com) and selecting “MIND Research Institute” as your beneficiary, Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchases to MIND. How amazing is that!
Need some holiday gift ideas that give back to MIND? We have you covered with our holiday gift guide. There are ideas for everyone on your list including game enthusiasts, bookworms, and educators. Take a look!
I truly hope MIND is your charitable organization of choice. Did you know that in 2019, MIND was able to reach 1.2+ million students and 55,000 teachers across 48 states in over 5,000 schools with ST Math?
This is one of many great things MIND was able to accomplish in 2019 with the support of people like you. Click the button below to see all of MIND’s accomplishments this year.
Cyber Monday is known as one of the biggest online shopping holidays of the year. To celebrate and show our gratitude to the MIND community, MIND will be having a Cyber Monday sale on all JiJi Store items.
Mark your calendars for Monday, December 2nd as this deal is only good for this day! You can also rest easy knowing that purchases made at the MIND Marketplace help fund our mission. I call this a win-win!
As a nonprofit, neuroscience, social impact organization, MIND depends on the generous support of individuals, foundations, and corporations to achieve the mission and help advance opportunities for all students.
This year I ask that you consider donating to MIND on #GivingTuesday. This year, Giving Tuesday is on December 3, 2019. Any donation, no matter how big or small is appreciated. You can feel good knowing that 88% of MIND’s funding goes directly to programming for students, teachers, and families.
When 70% of students exiting K-12 education are not proficient in math, it crucial that we provide all students with the necessary skills needed to gain deep conceptual understanding in math for future success in STEM.
For more information on Giving Tuesday on December 3rd, and how you can double your impact, check out the blog, Support MIND On #GivingTuesday.
On behalf of everyone at MIND, I would like to say thank you and happy holidays!
