For the past three years I've been proud to serve on Zeno's board of directors, and I've been even more proud that so many have joined me at our annual Make a Move For Math fundraiser to support all the great work Zeno does supporting early childhood math education in communities of color.
Unfortunately, our new temporary shared reality meant Zeno had to cancel Make a Move For Math this year. It also means that Zeno has needed to adapt to serve our communities that need educational support now more than ever. With that, I'm thrilled to say I've seen firsthand how Zeno's staff is working harder than ever to find new ways to support our communities and ensure that every child knows they can do math.
In these times of uncertainty I know every penny counts. In that spirit, I hope you'll join me in a "virtual" MM4M this year, with as many pennies as you can. I think we can raise a quarter million of them...or more!
BUT WAIT! As an added bonus, one of "Mike's Quarter Million Pennies" donors will be randomly drawn to win a mini soccer ball signed by MLS champion Raúl Ruidíaz! Thank you so much to my first donor who was able to make this happen :)
Pi Level Gifts Matched!
Gifts made at the Pi Level ($314) will be matched this year by our generous challenge pool donors and we hope that, if you can, you will stretch your gift.
With preschools closed and unemployment skyrocketing, the need for Zeno’s programming is higher than ever!
Zeno is rapidly adapting our early math program to meet the evolving needs of families. Now more than ever, we need your support to ensure Washington’s most vulnerable kids and families continue to learn and thrive.
You can play a critical role in helping families get the early learning support they need to keep their kids engaged in math and form a solid foundation prior to kindergarten.
Your gift today will help fuel Zeno’s efforts to:
Update our online resources and shift our work with partners to ensure families have access to quality math resources and games so that learning continues in homes.
Partner with community organizations to continue providing our 2,800+ families an opportunity to keep learning through play and our kids a sense of stability during an uncertain time.
Offer virtual family math events and experiences aimed at engaging families in fun, impactful learning.
Please give generously - our kids are counting on YOU!

About Zeno
At Zeno, we are working to spark a cultural revolution in math! Zeno’s dual mission acknowledges that there is no such thing as a life lived without math, and that racial inequities significantly impact the ability of families of color to acknowledge and leverage the power of math in their own lives. We build young children’s early math skills by equipping families with fun and engaging tools to create the math foundation needed for a future of limitless opportunity.
Our innovative programs serve families of color in low-income communities through partnerships with community-based organizations and early learning programs. By starting early, making math fun, including families, and working with community-based partners, we are removing the barriers that families of color face in accessing early math tools and resources. Zeno envisions a world in which everyone knows they can do math.
