The Butterfly Effect

Empowering teachers and students for a brighter future.

Get Started

Promoting early development education and multiculturalism.

Our Vision
The Butterfly Effect is engaged in supporting early development education with emphasis on STEM, as well as promoting multilingual school programs and enhancing multiculturalism in performing arts. Particular attention is given to cross-fertilization between American and Slavic cultures.

Our Services

Tuition Support

We provide support to promising students whose parents cannot afford to pay private school tuition in our participating institutions. These programs lay the solid foundation in early school years for the students to succeed in their education later on, thus empowering them to ultimately earn a degree and break out of the vicious cycle.

Sponsoring Math Kangaroo

We support students’ participation in the KANGAROO International Math Program that requires an intense preparation through the year and then culminates in an annual contest that draws over 6 million students from over 100 countries. The Butterfly Effect provides teaching materials and covers the costs of instruction.

Support for Performing Arts

We empower our beneficiaries to fully develop their performing skills by sponsoring participation in various cultural and theater festivals, both nationally and internationally.

“It’s no secret that STEM careers are in high demand, and will likely remain in high demand for some time. The road to a fruitful STEM-centric future is likely to include adversity — and for many learners, particularly underprivileged groups, the path to a rewarding career in STEM will begin with their relationship with K-12 mathematics.”

Why We Are Different

Small is Beautiful

The main reason our charity is different is because we value all of our relationships. They bring joy and fulfillment–not only to our children–but to our sponsors and our team.

 

We are a community-based program, and our mission is to provide affordable, high-quality early education and developmentally appropriate care for children in a safe, healthy, and diverse environment. What makes us different from others is our commitment to each child’s present and future.

 

When you call us on the phone, you will get a real person. We love talking to you. You inspire us and make us better. If you email or write to us, you will get a personal response, not a form letter. We can also tell you exactly how we spent your money.
