Supplies do more than support learning—they transform it.

As the only national nonprofit focused on the country’s most under-resourced schools—where 70% or more of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals—we’re closing the opportunity gap with dignity, purpose, and impact.

Whether it’s a backpack filled with supplies or a fully stocked Teacher Resource Center, every item we provide is a student prepared, a teacher supported and a key to potential unlocked through quality education.

16 Million Kids. One Clear Mission.

For more than 16 million students across the U.S., something as small as a missing pencil or an empty notebook can create an invisible barrier between them and their potential. But when those barriers are removed, something transformative happens—school supplies don’t just equip a student to learn; they ignite confidence, create a sense of belonging, and ensure every child has what they need to pursue their goals and dreams.

Why Our Work Matters

It’s More Than Just a Backpack

We have a saying at KINF that speaks to the heart of our mission: It’s more than just a backpack — because what goes inside does more than just put a pencil into a student’s hands. It sparks creativity, builds confidence, and opens doors for kids regardless of their circumstances — honoring the brilliance of every educator and the potential within every student.
