Sydney Paige Foundation

Results: Since our founding, the Sydney Paige Foundation has: Equipped over 300,000 students with new backpacks and essential school supplies, helping to remove barriers to learning and increase confidence in the classroom. Donated tens of thousands of books to under-resourced schools and programs to promote literacy and a lifelong love of reading. Partnered with schools, shelters, and youth-serving organizations across the U.S., ensuring support goes directly to the communities that need it most. Engaged thousands of corporate and community volunteers in meaningful service projects that directly benefit local students while deepening their own connection to social impact. Reduced absenteeism and increased classroom participation in schools where students received our support, as reported by partner educators and administrators. Built sustainable, scalable programs by leveraging corporate partnerships that allow us to expand our reach every year. These results are more than numbers—they represent real students who now walk into school feeling seen, supported, and ready to succeed.
