The Difference Your Donation Makes

Product donations made to KINF are provided – free of charge – to teachers from underserved schools across the country. Through the help of our generous partners and corporate donors, each year we’re able to supply an estimated 5 million students with the tools they need to participate and succeed in the classroom and beyond, via the 200,000 teachers we support. With our National Network of Resource Centers and direct relationships with under-resourced schools, KINF is the direct conduit to students and teachers nationwide.
