We Have The Ability To

Speak The Language Of The Person You Want To Become.

My Journey Began With A Single Pencil. While Traveling Through India In 2006, I Asked A Boy Begging On The Streets, 'if You Could Have Anything In The World, What Would You Want?' And He Answered Me With Two Words: 'a Pencil.' Luckily, I Had One In My Pocket, And In The Second It Took Me To Give It To Him, A Defining Dream Was Born.

The Most Abundant Resources That We Possess Amongst The 1.5 Million Nonprofits In The United States Are Passion And Knowledge, Yet Our Most Scarce Resource Is Collaboration.

Made With Pencils Is Grounded In The Creativity Of A Few, Propelled By The Financial Support Of Many, And Most Importantly, It's Empowering Generations To Come. A Simple Idea, A Heartfelt Desire, And A World Of Possibility. A Pencil, A Promise, And A Dream.

In Those Moments When Priorities Clash Always Stay Guided By Your Values, Not Your Perceived Necessities.
