Why Donate?
Every dollar counts.
Educating Children of Color, Inc. is still committed to our original mission, to dismantle the cradle-to-prison pipeline for youth of color and youth in poverty through education.
We envision a world where all children reach their full potential and where no individual's value is discounted because of socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, religion, gender expression, sexual orientation, or ability.
