Ways to Support MIND Research Institute

MIND Research Institute gratefully accepts stock transfers, real property and cash gifts. MIND Research is a 501(c)(3) organization: all donations to the Institute are tax-deductible.

How you can help:

Annual Fund

Unrestricted donations are vital to MIND’s success and support our areas of greatest need.

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 Research’s ST Math+Music™ program for their students.

Curriculum and Technology Development

Our non-language based approach offers opportunities to middle and high school students who desperately need assistance. More than $500,000 is needed annually to develop curriculum for additional grade levels and to fund continuous enhancement of existing product and support features.

Research Fund

The Institute’s world-class scientists are involved in projects that range from understanding brain function to the potential benefits of music for treating epilepsy. Our newest Data Driven Education project is revealing important insights for educators, policy-makers and scientists into how children learn. More than $400,000 is needed annually to continue the Institute’s important research projects.

Teacher Training and Support

MIND Research 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+Music program. Twenty percent of every dollar that comes to MIND is spent on teacher training and school support.

Sponsor MIND’s Education Awards Dinner

Sponsors make an enormous difference in the success of our annual fundraising event. These well attended, touching events honor students, teachers and principals who are achieving the greatest success with our program.

Matching Gifts

Many companies match the charitable contributions of their employees. Check with your human resources department for the appropriate procedure.

Estate Planning

A charitable gift through a will may be useful in managing the assets of your estate. Please speak to your financial advisor and consider the advantages of a planned gift to the MIND Research Institute.

Honorary and Memorial Gifts
