Education can be one of the greatest equalizers if our children, regardless of income, are given quality support and encouragement to realize their potential. Quality education can also strengthen our workforce and economy so that families and communities thrive. To further this quest, the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) International collaboration has made a dedicated commitment of $1M per year to support science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education on Hawaii Island through the creation of The Hawaii Island New Knowledge (THINK) Fund at the Hawaii Community Foundation (HCF). Introduced by our astronomy club member, Junichi N., Andrea Furuli, HCF's Senior Philanthropy Advancement Officer, accompanied by advisory Board member and Bank of Hawaii Senior Vice President, Roberta Chu, explained the opportunities offered by the THINK Fund.
