Mammoth problems, one bite at a time.

Who to contact for what

One inbox reaches the whole team — info@eattheelephant.org — and we route every message to the right person. We reply to most messages within two business days.

Students & families

Questions about the L.E.A.D. Fellowship, research scholarships, eligibility, or the application timeline — write to us before you apply; we are glad to explain how the fellowship works, what fellows actually do in the field, and what makes a strong application. Please apply through the application form rather than by email so your application is tracked from the moment it arrives.

Schools & community partners

Teachers, counselors, and community organizations who want to nominate a student, host a fellow's project, or build a research partnership with us — tell us about your community and the problem you are working on. Our current community work centers on Lubao, Pampanga, Philippines, and on the students we serve from our home base in Orange County, California.

Donors & funders

For gifts, workplace giving through Benevity, foundation grants, or sponsoring a fellow's project, start on our Donate page — it explains every giving route and how contributions are used — or email us and we will send our information packet, including our EIN and 501(c)(3) documentation.

Volunteers & mentors

Professionals and college students who want to mentor a fellow, review student research, or lend a skill to a community project — tell us your background and how much time you can give. Mentors are matched to fellows and projects as each cohort forms.
