Let's make our local schools great, one project at a time.
We're your neighbors. 100% of every dollar you give goes directly to projects in public schools across Central Florida and Puerto Rico. We cover the overhead ourselves.
Every donation, any size, goes straight to local kids.
Real equipment, in real classrooms.
Our first project raised $1,000 for playground improvements at the Jewett School of the Arts. Working with school staff, we delivered footballs, toss-and-catch sets, ring toss games, jump ropes and more, gear chosen to get kids moving at recess.
What we're raising for now
Chosen with school staff, so every dollar lands where teachers say it matters most.
Jewett School of the Arts
School's back in session with 500+ students across 21 K–5 classrooms. We're equipping classrooms and recess with what staff request, from PE gear to learning materials.
Feed Hungry Kids
Funds go directly to student food assistance programs, starting in Winter Haven and expanding across Central Florida and Puerto Rico, selected in partnership with school administrators. No child should try to learn on an empty stomach.

Frequently asked
100% to school-based projects in public schools across Central Florida and Puerto Rico, beginning in Winter Haven where we started: play and PE equipment, classroom support, and student food assistance. The volunteers who run the fund pay the admin costs out of their own pockets, and every project gets documented right here.
We're an incorporated community fund, but not currently a federal 501(c)(3), so donations aren't tax-deductible. Every dollar still goes straight to school projects, and we document every project so you can see exactly where it went.
