Make a Gift to Think Education

A Student Only Gets One Shot

Third grade happens once. So does the summer that decides whether a student is ready for high school. Your gift helps make sure no student in California misses their moment.

More than 30 years ago, Think Education began in a rented apartment with a simple but powerful belief: every child can succeed when given the right opportunities. That belief still drives our work today as we expand programs and advance innovative, scalable solutions that create the conditions for student success across California. Together, we are shaping a future where education unlocks opportunity, prosperity, and purpose for every student.
