Honor Your Favorite Teachers!

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 8-12

Foundation 65’s Honor a Teacher program allows us to say thank you to educators who have been working so hard for all of our children this year.  

Educators who are recognized with a donation in their honor will receive a digital card from Foundation 65, including your name and a personal note.*

Your gift will support Foundation 65, an independent grantmaking organization that invests in educator-led initiatives to support educational equity.

Go to www.foundation65.org/honor-a-teacher to make your gift and craft your personal note today.

*Gifts must be received by May 5 in order to send a personal note. The gift amount will not be shared publicly with the teacher.
