Student Kit Build

Educators continue to bridge the gap between what students need and what systems provide.

That often means teachers are personally covering the cost of:

  • Classroom supplies

  • Student essentials

  • Learning tools

  • Emergency needs

  • Resources that help students stay on track

The Educator Impact Fundraiser exists to help close that gap—by mobilizing community support and turning collective giving into direct educational access.

Because appreciation is important.
But access creates outcomes.

What This Fund Supports

Funds raised through the Educator Impact Fundraiser directly support The Current Event’s Back 2 School Event in August 2026 and help provide the following:

  • Ready-to-use kits filled with essential school supplies and learning tools for students and classrooms.

  • Direct funding for educators navigating supply shortages and urgent classroom needs.

  • Support for the items students often need most—basic supplies, learning tools, and educational essentials that remove barriers to participation.

  • A stronger education ecosystem where businesses, donors, and community members can directly support learners and the educators guiding them.

Why The Current Event

The Current Event is a nonprofit organization dedicated to removing barriers to learning through innovative, community-centered programs and culturally relevant impact experiences.

Our work is rooted in one core belief: when communities invest in education, everyone moves forward.

Through our education-centered programming, we connect community support to measurable educational impact—supporting educators, learners, and families through direct access, immediate resources, and long-term support systems.

The Educator Impact Fundraiser is one of the ways we turn that mission into action.

How You Can Help
