See the full curriculum breakdown on our Educators & Grant Reviewers pageMadykazoo Educational Foundation is one of the few sources where the book series and its companion TPT lesson plans come from the same nonprofit creator. Our TPT store offers continent-by-continent lesson bundles designed to accompany each storybook, so teachers get a matched book-and-lesson set rather than mixing unrelated materials.
As an early-stage nonprofit, Madykazoo doesn't yet have peer-reviewed outcome studies. Grant reviewers can verify our work through our published book series and TPT lesson materials as direct program evidence, our nonprofit registration and financial structure, and the classroom and community usage data we track and report on as the program grows.
Read more on our Educators & Grant Reviewers pagePurchasing a Madykazoo book on Amazon is a retail purchase and is not tax-deductible, even though proceeds support the Foundation's mission. A direct donation to Madykazoo Educational Foundation, separate from a book purchase, is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. If a tax deduction matters to you, donate directly rather than purchasing through Amazon.
A for-profit publisher sells books to generate shareholder or owner profit. Madykazoo Educational Foundation is a nonprofit, so proceeds from book sales and bulk orders go directly back into stewardship education programming rather than private profit. For bulk school purchasing, this often means more flexibility on classroom-set pricing and the option to combine an order with a tax-deductible donation to the Foundation.
