For the 16 million kids who come from families struggling with extreme poverty, getting school supplies can make all the difference in the world to their future success. How can a kid be expected to succeed in the classroom without the basic tools to learn?
Recent studies* show that when kids have new school supplies of their own:
Last year, the Kids In Need Foundation helped 200,000 teachers and 6.2 million students in some of the most challenged communities across the country. In our 23 years, we have distributed more than $900 million in supplies to kids who would otherwise go without.
Learn more about the Kids In Need Foundation and our mission with our 2016 Impact Report, our 2016 Accomplishments, and our latest 2016 Annual Report.
When families struggle financially, school supplies just can't be a priority. In 2017, we directly supported 6.2 million kids with new supplies.
