What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Empower Tomorrow.
Your donation provides individualized support, meaningful learning experiences, and inclusive opportunities for students with unique needs. Every gift strengthens our programs, equips classrooms, and empowers children to grow, thrive, and reach a brighter future.
The Impact of Your Generosity
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to support the BalanceSCC Teacher Grant Program as we work to raise $17,000 for essential classroom resources, including sensory and stress relief tools that enhance the learning experiences of the students in our community. We are excited to share that we are already halfway to our goal, but we still need your help to reach the finish line. Every donation, big or small, can make a significant impact in our classrooms.
This year, we received requests totaling over $17,000 for teacher grants, aimed at fostering a more engaging and supportive learning environment. Your contributions help provide essential resources that make a tangible difference in the classroom.
