Kids In Need Foundation introduces new scheme for donors

 

The Kids In Need Foundation (KINF), a non-profit organisation striving to provide free school supplies to students most in need, has launched a new programme to allow donors to choose a certain classroom to fund and aid. The programme, called SupplyAClassroom.org, allows donors anywhere to make a donation to provide school supplies directly to classrooms. The new programme, which focuses on KINF’s core mission of providing essential school supplies to the classrooms of children most in need, empowers donors to give to a classroom that is meaningful to them.

“In this season of giving, SupplyAClassroom.org is an intuitive way for anyone to support kids and classrooms in need of school supplies,” said Dave Smith, executive director of The Kids In Need Foundation. “No child should have to go to school without the notebooks, pencils and other supplies they need to succeed.”

How it Works
Each summer, teachers from across the country can submit a personal statement and share how the classroom supplies will impact their students. KINF shares this information on SupplyAClassroom.org. Donors can search for a specific teacher, a city or state, school district and find classrooms in the community in need of support.

Donors can choose to fund all or a portion of the school supplies, called Classroom Supply Boxes. Once a classroom has been fully funded, each classroom will receive two large Classroom Supply Boxes filled with enough core school supplies to last for at least one semester. Pencils, pencil pouches, folders, notebooks, sharpeners, erasers, rulers, and pens are included in every box. Additional items are included based on grade level, such as crayons and markers for younger grades, and loose-leaf paper and coloured pencils for older. The classrooms that receive these boxes are located in some of the most economically challenged communities in the US, where new school supplies are luxuries families often cannot afford. Donors are notified once the shipment arrives to the classroom and receives updates on how the supplies are being used.

Hi there,


Thank you for visiting PICANTE News and thank you reading my articles!


I have been writing articles and explaining reports in several industries for well over a decade or so. This is why I pride myself as one of the few survivors left in the world who have actually mastered the impossible art of copy editing. During my education phase I've graduated in Physics and obtained my Master’s degree in Communication and Journalism.


Although I usually focus on social and political news, I have some favorite topics that always make me happier. These topics include writing about sports events and travel writing.


During my career I've have written for numerous websites and my in-depth analytical articles have been highlighted in top sports magazines like Cricket Today and Sports Today. I report several social, education and wordwide community releated headlines from all around the globe.

You can find my articles and editorials in the following categories:


CHARITY, COMMUNITY, EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMY, BRAND AND MARKETING, CAMPAIGNS, HUMAN RESOURCE/WORKFORCE, HOLIDAYS, CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY, INSURANCE, and many more.
