Celebrating 25 Years of Impact!

25 Years and Learning

Throughout 2022, Mass Insight celebrated 25 years of working at all levels of the education system, from the classroom to the capitol. Mi25 was an occasion for us to celebrate a milestone anniversary and accelerate our work as a leader in advancing educational equity.

As we look towards the future, Mass Insight continues to obtain support in three significant areas.

  • Accelerate Student Opportunity in Advanced Placement
  • Accelerate and Redesign Equitable Education Systems
  • Accelerate Impact in Equity-Focused Work

We’re seeking partners who care about this work and its impact on systemically marginalized students as much as we do and invite you to join us as a champion of this effort.

To learn how you or your organization can partner with us in these important areas, contact Deputy Director of Advancement Sam Pipp at spipp@massinsight.org or (857) 315-5249.
