  • Inspiring and Preparing Young People for Success
    Inspiring and preparing young people for success 2017-2018 Mission Report Nathan Ziegler, principal of Hope Academy, and his students. Read his JA story on page 14. Dear Friends, As we reflect on this past year, we’re energized by what we’ve accomplished thanks to your investment. Junior Achievement has experienced incredible growth, innovation, and success. We’ve impacted more students, joined with more educators and schools, and partnered with more volunteers. We’ve piloted two new programs — JA Inspire and JA Meda Fellows — to equip students with the skills needed to succeed in the workforce and start a business. We inspired the creation of 74 student-run companies through JA Company Program, an increase of 23% over last year. We’re always looking for new ways to motivate young people to envision a successful future and to gain the skills needed to be contributing members of our community. Our partners are instrumental in keeping us relevant, innovative, and engaging! Today’s youth are our future; their success is our success. As we look forward, we’re excited by what’s ahead. In 2019, Junior Achievement will celebrate its 100th year. Very few organizations make it to 100 years, much less continue to grow and thrive as Junior Achievement has. Celebrate with us – watch our centennial video at https://youtu.be/fKAvHJ9vcek. Locally, Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest is also experiencing a milestone next year. We’re moving our experiential learning center to St. Paul. The Junior Achievement James R. and Patricia Hemak Experiential Learning Center will have two experiential learning labs instead of one, allowing us to double the number of students participating in JA BizTown and JA Finance Park.

  • Corporate Matching Funds
    Increase the size of your gift with a Matching Gift! 1. What is a Matching Gift Program? 2. How does a Matching Gift Program Work? 3. Does it work? 4. List of companies that have Matching Gift Programs? 1. What is a Matching Gift Program? Many companies allow their employees to direct their charitable giving programs through matching gifts. When an employee notifies the company that he/she has made a charitable donation, the company will make a gift of the same amount, and in some cases double the amount, to the same charitable organization. Matching Gift Programs are a wonderful way for employees to make their charitable dollars stretch farther at no cost to themselves. Simply ask your company's human resources office for a matching gift form and we will do the rest! Below is a partial list of companies with matching gift programs. Even if you do not find your employer on this list, be sure to check with your human resources office, personnel department, or community relations office. 2. How does a Matching Gift Program Work? It is extremely easy to process. Gift matching procedures can vary from company to company. The following example is typical. 1. An employee/retiree gets a matching gift form from the employer, usually from the human resource department or company website. 2. After completing the form, the employee/retiree sends it along with the donation to the educational institution or nonprofit charity. 3. The nonprofit certifies on the form that it has received the gift and meets the company’s guidelines for receiving a matching gift.
