Our mission is to help kids love numbers so they can handle the math in real life.
How do we do it?
We make math part of the family routine. Every day, we serve up a quick bite of wacky math just for fun. It's nothing like school. Parents can sign up by email, on our website, and on our free app. Whether it's flamingos, ninjas or pillow forts, kids can see the math in their favorite topics. No logins. No drilling. No scores. It takes only 5 minutes a day, and kids clamor for it.
We make math the cool thing to do after school. Our Crazy 8s math club is designed to get elementary school kids fired up about math. Every week, kids get to build stuff, run and jump, make a mess... and make friendships at the same time. Our fun, free kit makes it easy to host your own after-school club for 10-20 kids. It's nothing like your usual math club.
Bedtime Math is a nonprofit operating foundation funded by private donations. These resources, along with all proceeds from founder Laura Overdeck's Bedtime Math books, come back into the foundation to fund our free programs. Bedtime Math does not make grants to other nonprofit organizations or to individuals.

The Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey is
2.7 million strong - 1.9 million girls and 800,000 adult volunteers who believe girls can change the world. It began over 100 years ago with one woman, Girl Scouts' founder Juliette Gordon "Daisy" Low, who believed in the power of every girl. She organized the first Girl Scout troop on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, and every year since, we've made her vision a reality, helping girls discover their strengths, passions, and talents.
Today, as yesterday, we continue the Girl Scout mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. We're the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. And with programs for girls from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to do something amazing.

In 1990, a small, but dedicated group of teachers in Massachusetts came together to improve an education system that frequently allowed its lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students to be bullied, discriminated against and/or fall through the cracks.
Almost 25 years later, that small group has grown into the leading national education organization focused on ensuring safe schools for all students. Today, we're known as GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network.
We face a pervasive problem with a set of new challenges. 8 out of 10 LGBT students are still harassed at school each year because of who they are.
We are working to change that.
At GLSEN, we want every student, in every school, to be valued and treated with respect, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. We believe that all students deserve a safe and affirming school environment where they can learn and grow.

Just as learning does not end when school lets out, neither does a child's need for good nutrition. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) provides free, nutritious meals and snacks to help children in low-income areas get the nutrition they need to learn, play and grow throughout the summer months when they are out of school.
The Food and Nutrition Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, administers SFSP at the federal level. State education agencies administer the program in most states. In New Jersey, the state Department of Agriculture is the administering agency.
The New Jersey Department of Agriculture is looking for organizations interested in providing meals for needy children this year under this federally funded program.
