Double the Trivia, Double the Fun!
This year, for the first time ever, Mitrata held TWO Trivia Nights, one in St. Louis, MO and one in Seattle, WA. Combined, the events raised an over $40,000 for our Fund-A-Need goals!
Fund A Contact Center Need (or two!)
Please join us in providing the children at the Contact Center with comprehensive healthcare checkups, dental procedures, pairs of glasses, and a much-loved Contact Center field trip to the Kathmandu Zoo, including pizza and ice cream.
The Volunteers Make the Difference
Our volunteers are simply individuals in the Mitrata family who have asked, “Is there something else I can do to further Mitrata’s mission?” They quickly learned, the answer to that question is always an enthusiastic YES!
Hey St. Louis, Are You Ready for Some TRIVIA?
May the Fourth be with You! St. Louis Trivia Night returns on May 4, 2024. We can’t wait to see you there.

Why Miles for Mitrata Kids?
Outside of Contact Center sponsorships, Miles for Mitrata Kids fully funds the Contact Center! We have currently raised 69% our fundraising goal, but only have 56% of our goal participants. We would be unable to operate the Contact Center without our dedicated Contact Center sponsors, and the participants and donors of Miles for Mitrata Kids. Would you consider being a participant or donor?
Miles for Mitrata Kids 2023 Progress Update
We have officially completed the first month of Miles for Mitrata Kids (M4MK) 2023! This year, our goal is for at least 50 participants to raise $30,000 for our Contact Center. So far, we have reached nearly half our goal participants, and we are well on our way to raising our goal amount of funds!
