From the Founder

To everyone who gave their time, talent, and heart to Mind Foundry—

This page honors your work.

You taught thousands of children. You built curriculum. You showed up every day to classrooms and community centers across Minneapolis and St. Paul. You created something real.

What happened to this organization does not diminish what you accomplished. The students you reached, the skills you taught, the moments of discovery you created—those are permanent.

I am sorry for how it ended. I carry that weight every day.

But I am grateful—deeply, enduringly grateful—for everything you gave.

— Mahad Ibrahim
