Program 1

$530K

Locally, matter activates healthy eating for kids and families in minnesota and around the u.s. Via the matterbox program, an innovative solution to healthy food access and nutrition education. Matterbox addresses the growing need for healthy eating education, especially in communities where poverty and food deserts persist. Each box is an intentionally procured meal kit that gives a dignified experience of healthier eating, as well as recipes, challenges, tools and tips for building sustainable eating habits. Matterbox is not only an immediate response to hunger, but also a channel for creating new, healthy lifestyle habits, promoting long term change.

Program 2

$5.5M

Matter's education program looks to address systemic issues in educational organizations preventing all students' success, particularly, didactic instructional practices, passive engagement, substitutional level of technology use, and the lack of personalization. The matter innovation hubs model student centric learning to emphasize the importance of creative thinking, problem solving, and creativity. We believe these efforts support the concepts of the 4th industrial revolution: people anywhere, with access to quality internet and transformational technology can learn anythingand apply that knowledge towards skills that contribute to society while making living wage doing so.
