Our mission is to spark each and every person to love math. Program participants embark on a math journey with creative opportunities for math exploration, learning and discovery to foster positive connections to math, boost math confidence and help students see math as relevant to their future. We aim to reduce the equity gap in math education for girls and students of color, diversify the pipeline of people pursuing STEAM careers and better prepare youth to thrive in the digital economy of the 21st century. We collaborate with parents, teachers, school district leaders and nonprofit partners to create in-school and after-school enrichment programs, focusing on 3rd-8th grade students. This year we ran a math-through-origami teacher training, a math-related career event for middle schoolers, family activities, and math hip hop concerts, all facilitated with partner organizations.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
