Financial Support & Sponsorship
Making Mighty Minds More Accessible
Financial Support for Families
At Mighty Minds, we believe that financial circumstances should not be the only factor determining whether a child has access to a supportive, inclusive community where they can learn, connect, and grow.
We are continually working to identify community sponsors, scholarships, and outside funding opportunities that may help families offset the cost of participating in Mighty Minds.
Fall Momentum Membership Sponsorship: Fading the Spectrum
We are incredibly grateful to Fading the Spectrum (part of Yankee Clipper Barbershop in Chelmsford, MA) for generously sponsoring one child's Momentum Membership (twice weekly sessions) for the Fall semester.
This sponsorship will provide one family with access to the Mighty Minds program while helping reduce the financial barrier associated with participation.
Applications Are Now Open!
Families who would benefit from financial assistance are invited to apply for the sponsored membership. To ensure the process is fair and equitable, the sponsored membership will be awarded through a lottery system. All eligible applications received during the application period will be entered into the lottery.
One family will be randomly selected to receive the sponsored Momentum Membership on Monday, August 31.
Applying for financial assistance will never impact your child's eligibility for Mighty Minds. Information shared through the application process will remain private and will only be used to confirm eligibility and administer the sponsorship.
Submission of an application does not guarantee funding.
Sponsor a Mighty Mind
Help Give a Child a Place to Learn, Connect & Belong
Sometimes making an impact in your community starts with giving one child an opportunity they may not otherwise have.
Through our Sponsor a Mighty Mind initiative, individuals, families, and local businesses can help cover the cost of a child's participation in the Mighty Minds Therapeutic Learning Program.
Your sponsorship helps provide access to a neurodiversity-affirming environment designed around connection, curiosity, communication, regulation, creativity, and meaningful learning.
How Sponsorship Works
Sponsors may choose to contribute toward:
A full Momentum Membership for one child
A partial scholarship toward a child's membership
A scholarship fund contribution that can be combined with other donations to support families requesting financial assistance
Mighty Minds will coordinate the sponsorship directly with the recipient family. Sponsors do not need to select a specific child, and families receiving assistance can remain private.
For Local Businesses
We love partnering with businesses that share our commitment to building more inclusive communities.
Business sponsors may choose to be recognized on our website and social media as a Mighty Minds Community Sponsor, with the family's privacy always protected.
Sponsorship recognition may include:
Sponsored by your Business name
Proudly helping a Mighty Mind learn, connect, and belong.
Businesses may also choose to sponsor anonymously.
A place on our Community Feature Page to showcase your business and what services you provide
Recognition on all of our Social Platforms for the duration of the Semester
Thank You to Our Community Sponsors
We are incredibly grateful to Fading the Spectrum for becoming our FIRST Mighty Minds Community Sponsor and providing a Fall Momentum Membership for one family.
Their generosity is helping remove a financial barrier for a child while creating another opportunity for connection, learning, and belonging within our community.
We may be small and mighty, but together we can make a lasting impact.
Interested in Sponsoring a Family?
Whether you are a local business, organization, family, or individual, we would love to connect with you.
Your contribution can help make sure that another child has the opportunity to find their people, discover their strengths, and experience learning in a space designed to meet them where they are.
Additional Funding Resources for Families
Families may also be eligible for grants or financial assistance through outside organizations. Because each organization establishes its own eligibility requirements, application periods, and allowable expenses, we encourage families to review the current requirements directly with each funding organization.
