Fewer than 1 in 13 teachers in Minnesota public schools are teachers of color or American Indian teachers, compared with 2 in 5 students (7.4% vs. 39.8%). 

To help close that gap, we create resources that support every step of the teacher journey, from the first spark of interest to the classroom and beyond.

Every year, Minnesotans come together for Give to the Max Day to lift up the people and organizations that hold our community together.

Your gift will help us offer more support and find, honor and share the extraordinary stories of Minnesota teachers so every child can see themselves at the front of the classroom.

Early giving is open now, so you can give any time before the big day on November 19th 2026.
