As many organizations prepare for Giving Tuesday, Calculated Genius Inc. the Chicago-based STEM nonprofit founded by President and Founder of KDM Engineering Kimberly Moore, has planned a Giving Tuesday Season Fundraiser that will extend from Tuesday, November 24 through Tuesday, December 8. The longer timeframe provides more opportunities for donors to support Calculated Genius’ work with underrepresented youth in engineering.
“KDM has been a proud financial supporter of Calculated Genius since the organization’s inception, and we are excited to help promote their Giving Tuesday Season Fundraiser,” said Kimberly Moore, President and Founder of KDM Engineering. “Typically, KDM and Calculated Genius partner in hosting an annual fundraising gala for the holidays, but due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, we have had to get creative and find other ways to raise money.”
