You make all the difference

You make all the difference It’s been quite a year at Khan Academy! From the launch of our Khan Kids app for little learners and LearnStorm growing to cover three countriesâ€"the United States, Brazil, and Mexicoâ€"to the introduction of our new mastery learning features, we have made important strides toward providing a free, world-class education to everyone, everywhere. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you.Your support enables millions of people from all around the world to access the educational resources they need to reach their full potential, but there are many more learners we need to reach.       - 265 million children around the world lack access to school.       - 617 million lack basic math and literacy skills.*       - In the US, 60% of eighth grade students are not proficient in math.†       - Fewer than half of low-income four-year-olds are enrolled in a high quality  preschool.‡We know that Khan Academy can transform classrooms and lives. When students use Khan Academy for at least 30 minutes a week they are two times more likely than their non-Khan Academy-using peers to meet grade-level standards in math. § Data shows that using Khan Academys free Official SAT Prep for 20 hours is associated with an average score gain of 115 points.A great education is life changing, andâ€"since we’re a nonprofitâ€"your donations make all the difference. With your support, we’re able to hire teachers, engineers, and designers, cover rent, and pay for tech that brings Khan Academy to learners worldwide. And, we get to keep Khan Academy free. There’s still more work for us to do, and with your help we’ll get there. If you haven’t donated yet, please consider giving a little or a lot by visiting khanacademy.org/donate today.
