Serving the Most Underserved – One Classroom at a Time

Every year, Chicago Public School teachers dig into their own pockets to provide essential classroom supplies for their students. In underserved communities, where resources are stretched thin, this burden is even heavier. That’s where Art of Giving Foundation steps in.

Through our CPS Supply Drive, we’ve proudly supported over 2,000 classrooms, reaching more than 400 teachers and impacting the lives of 60,000 students across Chicago.

Why It Matters

This initiative goes far beyond pencils and paper. By providing critical supplies, we:

• Ease the financial burden on teachers
• Ensure every student starts the year with the tools they need to succeed
• Boost classroom morale and student confidence
• Foster an environment of equity, dignity, and creativity

When teachers are supported, entire student bodies thrive. A well-stocked classroom means fewer distractions, stronger learning outcomes, and more energy focused on what really matters: education.
