Area of Greatest Need: Unrestricted donations are vital to MIND’s success and support our areas of greatest need.
Math Initiatives Program: This collaborative community project launches MIND’s ST Math® education program in area schools at no cost, via a grants application process. In addition to receiving MIND’s award-winning ST Math instructional software, participating schools also receive professional development trainings, software updates, real time reports on student progress for teachers and principals, and an assigned MIND support representative who proactively supports school implementation throughout the year.
School Assistance Fund: Reaching as many children as possible remains our number one priority. The School Assistance Fund was established to help schools that lack sufficient financial resources to expand, maintain or launch MIND’s ST Math® programs for their students.
Curriculum and Technology Development: Our non-language based approach offers opportunities to middle and high school students who desperately need assistance. Contributions are needed annually to develop curriculum for additional grade levels and to fund continuous enhancement of existing product and support features.
Research Fund: MIND’s world-class scientists are involved in projects that range from understanding brain function to the potential benefits of music for treating epilepsy. Our Data Driven Education project is revealing important insights for educators, policy-makers and scientists into how children learn.
Teacher Training and Support: MIND works closely with hundreds of participating teachers, principals and administrators to guarantee successful implementation of the program. We understand and appreciate the vital role teachers play in delivering the ST Math program. Twenty percent of every dollar that comes to MIND is spent on teacher training and school support.
