OppenheimerFunds Will Reach 10,000 Kids by 2020 with Math Literacy

Giving back entails more than writing a check. We believe in taking an active, hands-on approach to serving our communities. Through our Philanthropy initiatives, OppenheimerFunds employees will reach 10,000 kids with the introduction to math literacy programs by 2020. Through these literacy programs, we were able to reach over 2,000 kids in 2016 through programs for both students and employees with our nonprofit partners.

Why?

  • Only 44% of U.S. high school graduates are ready for college-level math.
  • Just 7% of U.S. students reached advanced level eighth-grade math.
