Impact

The numbers, and how we got them.

Every figure on this site is stored once, defined in plain language, and dated. If a number here cannot be explained, it should not be here.

Raised since 2020
$2,500+
Gross funds raised through grants, awards and individual donations since 2020, used for materials, tooling and delivery. MintBox is a nonprofit: boxes are donated, not sold. Early fundraising included a 2021 stall at the Union Square Greenmarket.

Boxes donated
2,000+
Every MintBox physically built and donated to a person or partner organization since 2020. The total through August 2023 (about 200) is documented on the old site; the figure of more than 2,000 through 2026 was reported and re-confirmed by the team in 2026; the St. Clement's Food Kitchen partnership alone accounts for about 400 of them. Year-by-year records for 2024 to 2026 are still being reconciled. Boxes built but still in storage are excluded.

EDU kits donated
250+
EDU kits given at no cost through classrooms, shelters and school families. The documented 2023 deliveries were 50 boxes to four Covenant House shelters and 25 to Avenues Lower School; the total of 250+ through 2026 was reported by the team in September 2026.

Metodología

Cómo se cuenta cada cifra de este sitio, qué deja fuera y cuándo se revisó por última vez.

Every figure on this site is stored once, with a definition and the date it was last checked. Counts are of physical units we built and handed over, not of people who saw a presentation. Where a number could be read two ways, the definition says which reading we use. Figures were last reconciled during the 2026 site rebuild against records from 2020 to 2023; totals for 2024 onward have not yet been added.

Known gap

These totals cover 2020 through August 2023. Deliveries made from 2024 onward are not yet reflected. Rather than estimate, we have left them out until the records are reconciled.
