My Nonprofit Reviews

The BINC Foundation's work has been life-changing for me and my family. As an independent bookseller hoping to go back to school to become a librarian, I knew that It was going to be tough. I have a family, a four-year old, plenty of student loan debt from my undergraduate degree. I was working three part-time jobs to get by day to day. The thought of grad school loans seemed overwhelming and a massive risk. I put myself through college as a first generation student, and with BINC's help, I'll be the first in my family to go to grad school too. I am passionate about literacy and motivated to provide inclusive products and services that empower people to use technology and information to build community and make their lives better. I think the BINC Foundation shares this same mission, and I hope to carry on the non-profit's spirit as i pursue a career in instructional technology in public and school libraries. They are creating real impacts beyond the booksellers' community, and I am grateful. --Christina Czuhajewski, University of Michigan School of Information, Master of Science in Information Candidate '16
