Did you know that 94% of teachers in the U.S. spend their own money on classroom supplies—averaging nearly $500 a year? In some districts, that number soars above $800.* From pencils and tissues to flexible seating and classroom décor, the financial burden placed on teachers is both staggering and often overlooked.

At GiveSendGo, we think it’s time for that to change.

Whether you're a public school teacher, a private school educator, or a homeschool parent pouring into your child’s learning, you shouldn't have to carry the financial load of building a great learning environment on your own.
 

Teachers Are Underrated. Their Classrooms Shouldn’t Be.

You’re not just an educator—you’re a cheerleader, counselor, supply manager, and sometimes a second parent. The impact you make on a student’s life can’t be measured by test scores alone. And yet, when it comes to tangible support, you’re often expected to do more with less.

That’s why we’re inviting teachers of all types to start a Back-to-School Campaign on GiveSendGo.

Because whether it’s new books, art supplies, a field trip, sensory-friendly furniture, or even an upgraded homeschool curriculum, you deserve help.
 

Why Use GiveSendGo?

• It’s free to use. We don’t take a cut of what you raise.

If you’ve ever thought, “I hate asking people for money,” we get it. But this isn’t about asking for yourself—it’s about making sure your students (or children) get the education and experience they deserve. And people want to support that.
