RAFT’s Fund for the Future is a challenge grant established by friends and early supporters of RAFT who hope to mark the retirement of RAFT founder, Mary Simon, and ensure the organization’s success into the next decade.

These supporters—individuals and organizations who shared in the founding vision of a place dedicated to supporting teachers and giving them tools to engage and inspire youth—have established a $250,000 Challenge Fund. This offers supporters the opportunity to double their new, renewed, or increased donations, providing a strong foundation for RAFT’s next chapter. Watch this video to see how Mary's dream became reality.

Your support will:

• Position RAFT for a strong start of a new era of service and program delivery;
• Inspire giving and engagement throughout the community during a time of transition for the organization;
• Fund RAFT’s efforts to help educators navigate new Common Core curriculum standards and Next Generation Science Standards, which are redefining the landscape for today’s teachers and learners.

We hope you will join us!
