A Charity Intelligence 2025 Top 100 Rated Charity.
JUMP Math, established in 2002, helps students grades K-8 improve their math skills through evidence-based learning. The charity aims to address learning loss, unequal access to math education, low math achievement, and limited opportunities for teachers to strengthen their math instruction. The World Bank predicts that poor basic math skills will result in $17 trillion in income lost for this generation of students.
JUMP Math runs one main math program that provides curriculum-aligned resources, professional learning, and tutoring to students and educators. In F2025, it spent $4.9m on this program, including $547k sent to JUMP Math U.S. The charity also granted $100k to the Toronto Foundation for Student Success for after-school math support.
JUMP Math works directly with schools and educators to deliver its math program. In F2025, it reached 578,800 students and 47,500 teachers globally, including 17,843 Indigenous students across 70 schools in remote communities. On average, it cost JUMP Math $12 for every student it helped in F2025.
JUMP Math develops and publishes math resources for use in classrooms and at home, including free digital resources for teachers, parents, and homeschoolers. In F2025, more than 98,800 free resources were downloaded from its Resource Centre, which engaged 8,400 parents and homeschoolers. JUMP Math also launched Accumula, a supplementary resource with more than 60 digital lessons per grade to help students close learning gaps. It finalized a research-supported preschool math resource, which was piloted with 3,500 children through the YMCA of Greater Toronto in F2025.
The charity also provided professional learning to 8,000 educators, delivering 1,206 hours of training in F2025. Its Toronto District School Board pilot expanded to 22 high-needs schools, reaching approximately 8,900 students and 350 teachers. Through its partnership with the Toronto Foundation for Student Success, 35 tutors provided 53,346 hours of after-school math tutoring to 1,300 students.

Results and Impact
JUMP Math measures its impact by assessing changes in students’ math performance and confidence before and after receiving its tutoring and classroom support. In its Toronto District School Board pilot, students’ EQAO scores increased by an average of 7 percentage points in F2024, while Ontario and TDSB scores were nearly flat over the previous two years. Through the Beyond 3:30 after-school program, 89% of students reported greater confidence in math. A Homeward Bound summer tutoring program that included JUMP Math saw students’ math assessment scores increase by 51%.
In F2022, 29 pediatric brain tumor survivors receiving JUMP Math interventions improved their calculation scores by 8.2 points, while the reading control group declined by 2.9 points. In a F2023 Louisiana study of 1,030 students across three school districts, math performance improved by 13.7 points in measurement, 12.6 points in expressions and equations, and 5.8 points in algebra. Agreement that “Math is my favorite subject” also increased by 15%. In F2024, a study of 109 grades 1-8 students in Michigan found that students receiving JUMP Math programming gained approximately 14 points on average on their MAP Math assessment scores, a standardized measure of math achievement.

Finances
JUMP Math’s audited financial statements use line-item costing, which is not a best practice. This means its expenses are not clearly defined between program, administrative, and fundraising categories.

JUMP Math spent $4.9m on its programs, which is 66% of its revenue. It also granted $100k to the Toronto Foundation for Student Success. The charity recorded a surplus of $158k in F2025.

For every dollar donated to JUMP Math, 58 cents are available to go to the cause. This is outside Ci’s reasonable range.

Comments & Contact
Comments added by the Charity:
October 24, 2025
JUMP Math uses accrual accounting, in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), to ensure financial statements are consistent, comparable, and provide a full picture of financial health. Using this widely accepted method of accounting for most mid- and large-sized charities, JUMP Math recognized a license fee of $1.5 million as it was earned, not when the cash was received, posting a surplus of $591K in its 2023-24 fiscal year.
Using the figures from JUMP Math’s 2023-24 audited financial statements, our calculation is that 68 cents are available for the cause with just 32 cents going to fundraising and administrative costs, a level within the commonly accepted standard in Canada of 5% to 35% of costs.
