The arrival of fall means students are back in school and teachers and administrators are back at work. . As we know often times there is a challenge for teachers and schools as they struggle with the lack of resources to meet the demands of a new school year.
Many teachers and administrators reach deep into your personal pockets to make the learning experience for your students conducive to a supportive school climate. Whether grants or fundraising efforts, we see signs of financial giving and support when we look around us.
Donorschoose allows teachers to crowdfund for classroom supplies and resources. Often, generous benefactors will match donations for specific subject areas or windows of time. This fall, several celebrities and philanthropists matched donations for various subject areas.
We've also noticed many foundations stepping up with grants to purchase basic classroom needs. Though the most recent deadlines have passed for some of these programs, there are a number of groups that offer financial support. The American Association of Educators offers classroom grants to support projects, materials such as books, software, manipulatives and more. The Kids in Need Foundation offers an online fundraising toolkit to help with classroom supplies. Target offers grants to support field trip excursions for classrooms.
Make sure you share this with your favorite educator! Sharing is caring!
