Today is the day. Each year Giving Tuesday is Math Circles of Chicago's largest single fundraising event. Please join me in supporting this amazing non-profit and help me reach my fundraising goal.


 

In 2018, Math Circles of Chicago raised $21,555. With 200 more students this year, their work in four homeless shelters, and piloted partnerships with other after school programs to expand their impact further, the goal for Giving Tuesday 2019 is $33,013.

For the 2019-20 school year, Math Circles of Chicago will serve 750 children in our academic year sessions, 225 children in our summer camps, and 150 students who will participate in the QED Math Symposium. With an operating budget of $311,778 this equates to $277.14 per quarter per child.

Your contribution will support 750 fifth through twelfth graders at eight sites across Chicago engaging in exploratory math curriculum that is cooperative, fun, and accessible to all. 

Thank you for being a part of this global day of philanthropy and supporting our efforts!

 

 

Dear Friends,

Many of you know my passion for teaching and helping students to build confidence in and excitement about math. This year, I've begun teaching math to middle school students in a homeless shelter every week, and have seen the power that this weekly ritual has on their willingness to take risks and engage in productive mathematical thinking. It has been an honor to be their teacher, and it is due to Math Circles of Chicago's dedication to giving rich learning opportunities to students of all backgrounds that I've been able to do this work.  

Math Circles of Chicago is an organization I chose to support because I believe they unlock the power of math for children who need it the most. Whether it’s a child who loves math and wants a further challenge, or one who’s finding their interest in the subject diminishing, MC2 exposes them to effective math instruction and an interesting approach to mathematics.

Math Circles of Chicago programs are free of charge and located at accessible sites across the city. Please join on this important fundraising day so they can reach event more children across Chicago with this incomparable math experience.

Thank you for your support!
