About

Our purpose is simple: Growth Mindset Collaborative (GMC) is a Georgia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping students access high-quality academic and growth-focused learning resources. 

We partner with schools and community organizations to expand access to free and affordable academic and growth-focused learning. 

A world where every student — regardless of background or zip code — has equal access to high-quality academic preparation and growth-focused learning opportunities. 

We focus on making academic support easier and more affordable for schools—starting with high-stakes test prep—and expanding into other areas, including literacy at all levels, project-based learning, and instilling growth mindsets in students, families, and staff 

  • Expand access to free and low-cost high-stakes preparation resources for all students, especially those from low-income families

  • Support equitable student achievement and lifelong learning

  • Strengthen family engagement in academic growth
