We guide driven yet underserved students to graduate from the nation’s most selective colleges.
We raised $194,585 toward our $175,000 campaign goal. Thank you for helping us exceed our goal, and for investing in MMBay’s students!
Low-income students are grossly underrepresented at competitive colleges.
This trend must end. Since 2010, 100 percent of our students have attended 4-year colleges across the nation. And they’re 23 times more likely to graduate from selective colleges than other low-income peers.
Shift the economic curve.
Create opportunity for generations. Ten years after graduating from a selective college, low-income students—whose parents' income levels were below the twenty-fifth percentile—report a personal income level above the sixtieth percentile.
A gift to Minds Matter Bay Area (MMBay) has the power to change the life trajectories of our students.
Behind each student is an inspiring story of success.
Personalized preparation. Our 300 volunteers commit more than 40,000 hours each year to help students prepare for admission to the nation's most competitive colleges.
Join the growing list of companies who match their employees’ gifts to MMBay.
Your participation matters. We invest $10,000 in each student to support their three-year journey through the Minds Matter Bay Area program—providing lifelong personal and professional networks. Each corporate matching and personal gift impacts a deserving student. We’ll be kicking off our 2023 “Raising Minds” Campaign in November.
