We are committed to creating equitable learning environments for teachers and students in under-resourced communities.
A quality education is the best gateway to opportunity and provides greater possibilities for students to achieve their full potential.
It is crucial to champion the inherent dignity of kids and the quality experiences they can have throughout education.
When teachers are well-supported and appreciated, they have the ability to unlock the future potential of our nation, which is our children.

Racial Equity.
"My students and their families are economically disadvantaged and they either do not buy or buy only a few or buy school supplies only once. With your donation, my students will have school supplies for the classroom and for their home where the learning continues."

Supply A Student
The Supply A Student Program champions educational engagement and ownership by providing students with a new backpack filled with school supplies. Teachers report these supplies help improve student preparedness, confidence, and class participation. Individual donors and financial partners can choose to provide backpacks to students at all levels, including a single class or the entire school. It's more than just a backpack.
Supply A Teacher
The Supply A Teacher Program lessens the necessity for teachers in underserved schools to personally finance or provide classroom resources. Each teacher supported through this program receives boxes filled with items necessary to fuel a full semester of learning. As part of the Supply A Teacher Program, donors and financial partners fund teachers and/or the schools at which they serve.
