Review for RAFT (Resource Area for Teaching), San Jose, CA, USA
I have long felt that improving the educational experience for students from low-income neighborhoods and backgrounds can change the trajectory of their education and subsequent careers. RAFT learning kits do just that in areas of great importance, such as math and science, which is increasingly the basis for top careers.
RAFT's "hands-on" innovative approach is best suited for educational effectiveness and can capture the imagination of the kids that learn with them
I consider my philanthropic donations as "investments" in the future of these kids and use a business approach to evaluating those non-profit organizations, such as quality of management, financial strength, and proven, consistent results over many years. RAFT scores an A plus on these metrics and should be considered a 1st tier provider of teaching tools for kids of middle and high school ages, where they have the most impact.
