TIME Magazine Reports on the Crisis

Many California teachers are scrambling to findfresh ways to thriftily educate their students andmaintain their physically crumbling classrooms.

Teachers now spend $1,500 a year of their ownmoneyto keep their classrooms afloat.

"I always ask business owners if they have penswith their logo on them so that I can distributethem to the students," says Nosanov Goldman,who has been teaching for 22 years. "I've never

had to beg like this."

The Problem with Current School Fundraising Sales

People want to help kids, but $2 billion that they take out of theirwallets actually goes to the cookie dough and wrapping papercompanies, instead.

Imagine how much equipment could be provided if schools had amore efficient way to attract support.

Sales $3.7 B

To schools $1.7 B

Lost $2.0 B

Easy, Efficient, and Ultimately Self-Sustaining

Visitors make tax-deductible contributions at ClassWish.org.

The full amount, less only the discounted credit card fee, iscredited to the teachers wish list account.

We deduct from the teachers wish list accounts only theamount they would pay if they bought the items, themselves.

ClassWish buys the items at wholesale prices and has themshipped directly to the school.

The wholesale-retail spread will cover ClassWishs expensesas we get to scale. That makes our approach leveraged,scalable, and ultimately financially self-sustaining.
