AmazeWorks

AmazeWorks envisions a world where every child can thrive because they are seen, heard, and valued for all of who they are. We use picture books to give children mirrors of their own lives and windows into those different from them. The books in our anti-bias curriculum provide invaluable identity affirmation for people across racial, gender, sexual, and countless more identities. Since our founding in 1996, we’ve seen the way books bring belonging for all to life. 

This Give to the Max season, we’re inviting you to join us in being #FiercelyHopeful.

Hope isn't just a word—it's a commitment.

Hope means investing in the strength of our communities, even when the future is uncertain. Hope is fierce.

One way to stay fiercely hopeful is to support the causes that sustain our communities, like creating spaces where every story is valued and every person feels they belong. This year, we’re setting a goal to raise $15,000 to continue uplifting the voices and stories of all identities and lived experiences.

Join us in making hope more than a feeling—let’s make it a powerful action.

Donate to AmazeWorks to invest fiercely in hope for belonging for all.

Any donation that is meaningful to you is meaningful to us. Plus, all gifts up to $7,500 will be matched dollar for dollar. That means your gift will have twice the impact!

Thank you for being a part of our anti-bias community.

“Allie came home on Friday excited to tell us about a book you read in class. She said the book had two dads in it and some kids identified Allie as having two dads (in a good way). We want to say thank you for reading a book that has a family like ours. It made a huge impact on her. Thank you!” - Parent of a 1st grade student

“Using picture books as springboards into courageous conversations, and class surveys to understand the hidden relationships and class culture, I have been able to integrate social skills into our daily lessons without having to take away from other subject areas. Their selected books are already vetted to ensure there is an authentic voice, diverse perspective and a lack of stereotypes. AmazeWorks empowers me with the tools to better support my students and encourage social/emotional growth in an equitable manner.” - St. Paul teacher
