Program Sponsorships

For partners looking for a turnkey way to support under-resourced teachers and students, KINF has three foundational programs, and its Network, to support: Supply A Student, Supply A Teacher, RISE: Rural and Indigenous School Equity, and Second Responder®.


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.

National Network of Resource Centers

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.

RISE

The RISE Program supports learning resource needs for teachers and students in rural and Indigenous communities, as students in these areas face unique challenges to accessing equitable educational opportunities. Leveraging the organization’s national logistics platform and distribution operations, mass product procurement, and education system connections, Kids in Need Foundation effectively serves these harder-to-reach areas.

Second Responder

When the first responders’ work is done, Kids In Need Foundation is there. The Second Responder® program provides school supplies and resources to teachers and students affected by natural disasters. The program delivers hope in a tangible way to support reopening classrooms as communities rebuild.
