Why people give
I’m a psychologist and mom who is seeing the mental health effects of unregulated big tech companies on young people daily. Thank you for the work you do.
H.F., Dallas, TX
I have used Common Sense Media weekly, sometimes daily, as a parent and teacher for many years. Your articles about social media apps have fueled conversations with my own daughters.

Other ways to give
Recommend a grant to Common Sense Media from your donor-advised fund. Please ask the fund holder to share your contact information, or email us at [email] so we know who to thank.
A donor advised fund (DAF) is essentially a charitable savings account, and gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to the Child Mind Institute and/or other qualified charities. You can recommend a grant or recurring grants now to make an immediate impact or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts. Learn more →
