Year-Round School Program

Our new school pilot program serves students throughout the full school year, so they can grow up with confidence.

The Goal

Helping Students Show Up with Dignity, Every Season of the Year‍

For 140 years, the National Giving Alliance has provided brand-new clothing to children experiencing hardship. In 2025, we’re launching something new: a school-based pilot program that supports students with high-quality clothing throughout the entire school year — not just once.
‍
This pilot is designed to be:
✅ Turnkey for schools
✅ High-impact for students and families
✅ Backed by data so we can scale what works

School Partners

NGA is partnering with a small number of area schools to launch this year-long pilot starting Fall 2025.

Participating schools will:

Select 10–30 students experiencing clothing insecurity
Collaborate on sizing and timing preferences
Receive new, high-quality clothing for each student across the academic year
Help us track outcome data to improve and expand the model

Why this matters

Too often, clothing insecurity is invisible — but its effects are real

1 in 3

U.S. children live in low-income households without guaranteed access to basic essentials

Chronic absenteeism rate for youth in poverty

73%

of public school teachers have personally purchased clothing for students who needed it

Sponsors & Supporters

We are seeking a small group of founding sponsors to underwrite this pilot. Your support will:

Fund clothing support for students at a local school
Deliver high-visibility, high-integrity community impact
Help us build a scalable, evidence-based model for national replication

Sponsorship levels range from $10k to $50k. Together, we can help students show up ready to learn — and reshape how clothing support is delivered.
