Disrupt Gives’ Post

Hello Colleagues, Connections, and Friends! The CohnReznick LLP Charlotte office CARES initiative for July has been collecting donations for Classroom Central. Through their partnerships, each $1 donated becomes $9 worth of distributed supplies for students in our community. These donations give students the supplies they need for a successful school year. Every dollar donated (via the link below) through the end of the day today will go to purchasing kits that will be given to local students in need. We will assemble these kits ourselves, and deliver them to Classroom Central next month. Please consider making a small (or large) donation to our local students and teachers! Consider this insight from a 3rd-grade teacher in Charlotte: "There are always unseen challenges for students. As teachers, we strive to understand and address the struggles they face outside the classroom. When kids live in poverty and high-stress environments, focusing on learning to read or understand fractions becomes incrementally more difficult, not to mention the stress of worrying if they can get the necessary books and supplies they need to complete their homework and lessons. With the help of Classroom Central, I can alleviate at least one of their stressors, making it easier for them to feel capable and successful while they're at school." Thank you for any and all donations!! <3 https://lnkd.in/gQezNchQ

Did you know that one in six families fear their children will miss out on internet access for school? In today’s digital classrooms, access to the internet is a necessity for education. Without it, young people are at risk of missing out on crucial learning opportunities and falling behind compared to their peers.  Every young person deserves equal opportunities to learn and chase their dreams. Yet, many families are struggling to afford educational essentials for their children, including internet access. The cost-of-living crisis has only added to this pressure. Now more than ever, your support is needed. By donating to our Scholarship Appeal today, you can empower young people with the resources and opportunities programs they need to feel optimistic about their futures. https://lnkd.in/gb9DP4-V

Teachers play such an important role in shaping the minds of our future generations. Take a moment this week to show appreciation for all the hard work and dedication they put into their job every day! One way to show support is by donating to organizations that support teachers, such as the Million Dollar Teacher Project. Additionally, you can donate directly to classrooms to help provide necessary supplies for students. Just ask your nearest school, teacher friends, or send me a message! Another way to show support is by recognizing and thanking teachers on social media. Post about a teacher's dedication and tag them and their school to show your appreciation publicly. If you are a teacher, don't forget to take advantage of some special deals and discounts that are available during Teacher Appreciation Week. Check out this list of places where you can score some great deals: https://shorturl.at/oyzCM Let's all come together to show our gratitude and support for teachers who work tirelessly to educate and inspire our youth. Thank you, teachers, for all that you do! 📚🍎 #TeacherAppreciation #SupportTeachers Timothy Honan + Marcela Campbell + Haven Guyer + Lloyd Hopkins

Did you know that most teachers spend at least $500 each year to fund their classroom environment? We purchase snacks, school supplies, classroom decorations, books, organizational equipment, and supplementary curriculum, among other things. In my third year of teaching, I realized that being a teacher didn't have to mean going broke to fund my classroom. I started using programs like DonorsChoose and AdoptAClassroom.org to help me with classroom expenses and projects for my students. I advise both new and experienced teachers to create accounts on these platforms and share them with their friends. These platforms have allowed me to tap into my personal and professional networks to ask for resources. I've found that there are always people willing to support teachers. Like most educators, I can always use a helping hand, and I've found that many are happy to help. Sometimes it's our relatives and friends, and other times it's an anonymous donor or an organization. I've had tremendous success using these platforms over the years, and I'm very grateful that they exist to help teachers. If you're a teacher or you know one who is about to spend a lot of money at Lakeshore for the "biggest sale of the year," please consider signing up for an AdoptaClassroom account first. Then, share your page link with people who know you. The worst thing they can do is ignore it, and the best thing they can do is donate or share your link on their social media timelines. #backtoschool #elementary #education #teachers

It's #GivingTuesday! For families who cannot afford high school tuition, paying for field trips in Belize or abroad is out of the question. But retreats, field trips and summer trips to other countries help students decide who they want to be and what they want to do with their lives. This Giving Tuesday, we are raising money for our Leadership+ students to immerse themselves in learning opportunities outside the classroom. Money is the only roadblock these bright and curious students have in their educational journey; we want to clear the path for them and we need your help to do that. Please consider a monthly gift of $25 that will give access to ongoing extra-curricular opportunities like our STEAM programs, collaborations with colleges like Michigan State University, Youth Theology Network experiences in Boston and local trips that help students imagine what's possible for them professionally and how they might reach their God-given potential. You probably won't miss $25/month; these students won't ever forget it. https://lnkd.in/d64P2saC

For the nearly 35,000 students at Seattle Colleges, education is a bridge to a brighter future. And for many facing basic needs insecurity, it’s also a vital way to break the cycle of poverty. Donate now to help students succeed: https://lnkd.in/gi8rm99E Having enough to eat, affordable housing, reliable access to childcare and healthcare are essential for students’ stability and success in continuing education. But: 4 in 10 students have experienced food insecurity 3 in 10 have experienced housing insecurity 1 in 10 have experienced homelessness And many of our students face additional barriers like first-generation college students, working parents and those from lower-income backgrounds. Even though they work, most Seattle Colleges students struggle to make ends meet. While federal, state, and local financial aid can help, it often covers as little as a quarter of the costs associated with enrollment. The reality is many students are a single unexpected expense away from dropping out, and once students step away, only 13% return. But you can help. When you give to Seattle Colleges, you empower students to keep moving forward, despite the odds. Your donation helps provide scholarships and grants that let students focus on their studies, rather than their next paycheck. By investing in Seattle Colleges students, you’re not only supporting education—you’re investing in a resilient, skilled, and hopeful future for our entire community.
