Fundred's Impact

Fundreds offer a visual way to engage around lead poisoning. It’s 2020, and millions are still at risk of lead poisoning. Mel Chin’s concept is simple: express your value and stop lead poisoning. This message is delivered through outreach, education and artmaking. Lead poisoning leads to learning disabilities, lowered IQ, behavior and attention problems, hearing damage, nervous system and kidney damage, and makes people more prone to violence and crime. The project has continued for 12 years, reached all 50 US States, amassed more than 480,000 Fundreds, and been brought to our nation’s leaders.
