The Backpacks Foundation The Backpacks Foundation strives to help underprivileged students obtain a satisfactory education and achieve academic success.

The organization delivers backpacks furnished with school supplies to such students, appropriate for their grade level (K-12). The organization was formed in August 2006 when a group of family and friends recognized the financial burden many families face when buying supplies to prepare for the new school year. Since 2007, the organization has raised more than $30,000 and donated more than 2,000 backpacks to school districts and charities in the New York metropolitan area. The organization is legally incorporated in New York State and has 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.

With summer now in full swing, we at The Backpacks Foundation are looking ahead to the quickly approaching back-to-school season. For most, shopping for school supplies brings back feelings of nostalgia and excitement, but for others who are less fortunate it can mean stress and anxiety that set the stage for the rest of the school year.

Last year The Backpacks Foundation provided over 400 students in the NY metropolitan area with backpacks filled with the necessary supplies to succeed. This year we are looking for your support.

Please consider helping us make a difference today by either making a tax-deductible donation via Paypal or buying supplies through our Amazon Wish List.

Huge shout-out to our board member, Jane DeMaria, and her colleagues at Kate Spade! Jane spearheaded a backpack drive over the past few weeks, and on Friday, the Kate Spade team packed 84 supply-filled bags for donation to low-income students in the New York metropolitan area. We wish the recipients of these bags and supplies the best of luck in the upcoming school year!
