Programs: The Kids In Need Foundation is a national 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 1995. We create equitable learning spaces through the distribution of supplies and resources, investing in teachers and students in underserved schools through our fundamental programming. The National Network of Resource Centers includes more than 30 mission-driven organizations that allow teachers from low-income schools to ‘shop’ free-of-charge for school supplies for their students. Supply a Teacher delivers a semester’s worth of essential school supplies to preK-12th grade educators. Supply A Student champions educational engagement and ownership by providing students with a new backpack filled with school supplies. RISE supports teachers and students in rural and Indigenous communities, as students in these areas face unique challenges to accessing equitable educational opportunities. Second Responder® provides supplies to teachers and students affected by natural disasters
