With your support, we help local kids ignite a lifelong love of learning—one story, one mentor, one rocket launch at a time.
At Washtenaw Promise, we believe that every child—no matter their zip code—deserves the chance to thrive in school and in life. We work directly in local classrooms, hand-in-hand with educators, families, and children to deliver what national organizations simply can’t: meaningful, personal, local support.
Your donation helps us put books into young children’s hands, provide consistent mentors who show up week after week, and create joyful learning experiences that build confidence and skills for a lifetime.
Because when you give close to home, your impact goes further.
Washtenaw Promise isn’t a national nonprofit with overhead in another state—we’re your neighbors, working in the very classrooms that shape our community’s future. We know the teachers. We know the schools. We know the kids. And we know that your support can make all the difference. Click the donate button below to make a contribution to our mission.
