1 of 30 Why Scratch matters to me—and why I’m asking you Inbox Margaret Honey, President & CEO, Scratch <no-reply@scratch.org> Unsubscribe 10:17 AM (9 hours ago) to me Hi, there – My name is Margaret, and I’m the President & CEO of Scratch. I’m reaching out personally to ask for your help, and to tell you why we need it. If you’re reading this, Scratch has likely sparked something meaningful in your life. Maybe you’ve seen your child light up after building their first game—laughing, learning, and proudly exclaiming, “I made this!” Maybe you’re an educator who’s witnessed that unmistakable “aha!” moment when a student sees themselves as a creator for the first time. Or maybe you’re a former Scratcher who still remembers the joy of sharing ideas and making friends online. You’re not alone. Since 2007, more than 155 million children have shared over a billion projects on Scratch: celebrating their passions, telling their stories, lifting their voices, and exploring new ways to express themselves. Along the way, we’ve modernized the Scratch platform, strengthened our safety and moderation systems, and launched research-backed initiatives that engage educators and inspire kids. Scratch is more than just a platform: it’s a movement. Today, we’re asking you to help keep the movement going. Become a Member Today! Scratch is a proudly independent nonprofit. We’re not run by a tech giant, and we’re not driven by ads, paywalls, or attention-grabbing algorithms.
