Minds Matter of Bay Area, Inc.

I'm running in the Marin County Half Marathon on October 29th, 2023, to raise money to benefit Minds Matter Bay Area (MMBay). I joined the nonprofit as an Associate Board Member this year and have seen its impact firsthand. Thank you in advance for any contribution to this cause that means a lot to me.

MMBay is an education nonprofit that connects driven and determined students from low-income families with the people, preparation, and possibilities to succeed in college, create their future, and change the world.

Graduating from a selective college is the most reliable way for low-income students to access well-resourced networks and competitive careers, leave poverty behind, and create their desired future. Yet, only 3% of high-achieving low-income students in the U.S. graduate from a selective college.

MMBay solves for college “undermatching”: the underrepresentation of high-achieving, low-income students at selective colleges across the country. Founded in 2010, MMBay have graduated over 200 alumni: 100% have been accepted to 4-year colleges, 75% attend the most selective colleges in the country, and 100% have graduated from college within 4 years.

MMBay's weekly program is free for all students, and delivered by a powerful network of volunteers who mentor, teach, and accompany our students on their pathway to, through, and beyond college.

Any donation is sincerely appreciated. Thank you in advance for any support.
