Mindful Schools is funded by the joint efforts of grants, school contributions, and individual donors. Over 70% of the schools we’ve taught at serve predominantly low-income children and receive scholarships for the program. More than 20 schools are awaiting scholarships to receive the program. We also offer scholarships for adult trainees who need them.

Scholarship Fund for Children:

• $40 gives one child the entire 5-week in-school session
• $120 gives three children the entire 5-week in-school session
• $800 gives a whole classroom the entire 5-week in-school session

Scholarship Fund for Adults:

• $125 gives one adult a complete 12-hour Mindfulness Fundamentals course
• $550 gives one adult a complete 16-hour Curriculum Training course

Thank you for your generosity. Contributions are tax-deductible, and are processed through PayPal (no account required).

We do everything we can to maximize the impact of your contributions. For example, this entire web site, as well as photography, was done by volunteers. This allows your contributions to directly help children and adults learn mindfulness. For more information, please e-mail us.
