Thanks to a generous donor, in honor of PLATO’s 30th anniversary all donations to PLATO made between now and December 31 will be matched, up to a total of $30,000.
Every gift will have double the impact.
For 30 years, PLATO has been bringing philosophy – humanity’s oldest discipline dedicated to learning how, not what to think – to children of all ages.
At PLATO, every dollar goes a long way. A gift of $50, for example, pays for a classroom visit by a Philosopher in Residence.
“We learned so much about how to think critically while also having an open mind to our fellow students’ ideas and opinions.”

Monthly gifts are an especially powerful investment in the next generation of thinkers. And from now until December 31, your monthly gift for the entire year will be matched.
- $10/month over the course of a year pays for a scholarship for a young student taking a PLATO philosophy class; the match means two scholarships can be awarded.
- $25/month over a year funds a scholarship for an educator enrolled in a two-day PLATO workshop; the match means your gift provides two scholarships.
- $50/month for one year covers a 50% scholarship for a teacher in PLATO’s intensive professional development program; the match means your commitment funds a full scholarship.
You can also choose to honor a teacher by dedicating a book in PLATO’s Virtual Tribute Library and your $50 donation will also be matched.
Help PLATO bring the joy of philosophical inquiry into the lives of students and educators for years to come!
