The category, which includes consumer electronics and clothing, is susceptible to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/philanthropic-resources\/philanthropist\/how-inflation-impacts-nonprofits-and-what-donors-can-do-to-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inflation<\/a>, so many parents are planning on forgoing supplies or cutting back in other areas in order to afford them for their children. Given that a recent Brookings Institution and Wall Street Journal study estimates that it now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/it-now-costs-300-000-to-raise-a-child-11660864334\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">costs $300,000 to raise a child<\/a>, back-to-school shopping is yet another expense that\u2019s difficult for many families to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/1-in-6-us-kids-are-in-families-below-the-poverty-line-183323\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent Census study<\/a> found child poverty in the United States at 16%, meaning one in six children fell below the poverty line in 2020. Nonprofit Cradles to Crayons has seen first-hand the struggle that these families endure, and by partnering with local human services agencies, they work to provide children living in poverty with essential items year-round. Back-to-school season is a major event for the organization, celebrating its 20th anniversary this fall. Volunteers build packages containing donated supplies at their warehouses, or \u201cGiving Factories,\u201d then send them directly to families in need at the recommendation of partner agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"quote-container scroll-watch\">\t\n            <svg width=\"72px\" height=\"52px\" viewBox=\"0 0 72 52\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n                <g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                    <g transform=\"translate(-405.000000, -1977.000000)\" fill=\"#02B5CC\">\n                        <g transform=\"translate(350.000000, 1278.000000)\">\n                            <g transform=\"translate(55.000000, 647.000000)\">\n                                <path d=\"M40.3135498,103.84 L40.3135498,83.2493458 C40.3135498,59.0250467 61.5991041,52.3633645 72,52 L72,62.9009346 C63.5341545,63.8699065 58.212766,68.1091589 57.7290034,76.708785 L72,76.708785 L72,103.84 L40.3135498,103.84 Z M0,103.84 L0,83.2493458 C0,59.0250467 21.2855543,52.3633645 31.6864502,52 L31.6864502,62.9009346 C23.2206047,63.8699065 17.8992161,68.1091589 17.4154535,76.708785 L31.6864502,76.708785 L31.6864502,103.84 L0,103.84 Z\"><\/path>\n                            <\/g>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/g>\n                <\/g>\n            <\/svg>\n    \t\t\t<h2>Since its founding in 2002, Cradles to Crayons has served over 3 million children across Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia.<\/h2>\n    \t\t<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe school supplies we provide are essential to these kids,\u201d states Michal Smith, the Executive Director of the organization\u2019s Philadelphia location. She explains that \u201cOf the ten limitations surrounding kids attending school, three of them are: school supplies, clothing and the confidence those items give to make a kid go to school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With only 16 full-time employees, Cradles to Crayons\u2019 day-to-day operations rely heavily on volunteers. Families and workplaces donate volunteer time and conduct supplies drives to help support crucial learning and development. Philanthropists with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/donor-advised-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">donor-advised funds (DAFs) at NPT<\/a> support the organization with annual grantmaking, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cDAFs, for us, means there is a family behind the giving\u201d says Smith.<\/strong> Many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/family-philanthropy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">families coordinate their giving through donor-advised funds<\/a>, and when those donors make grants to Cradles to Crayons, there is almost an immediate impact. \u201cAny gift given has an approximate turnaround time of three days,\u201d Smith explains. As soon donations are received, they are used to buy brand new resources and supplies, coordinate volunteers, and operationalize distribution. With locations in Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia, Cradles to Crayons has served over 3 million children since its founding in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heartbeat of the organization is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nptrust.org\/philanthropic-resources\/philanthropist\/trust-based-philanthropy-a-primer-for-donors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unrestricted giving<\/a> from families and individuals who understand that a child\u2019s ability to thrive in school is a fundamental part of their growth, \u201cAt [Cradles to Crayons\u2019] core, families helping families is a part of our mission\u201d states Smith. \u201cFor every dollar someone gives us, we make it count.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">School attendance and preparedness is key to development, and expensive supplies shouldn\u2019t stand in the way of a child\u2019s ability to thrive in class. \u201cIt is key that we make sure kids go to school and are focused on learning,\u201d explains Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The supplies are \u201cjust a little piece of the battle to help kids be successful,\u201d according to Smith, but by defraying some of these costs, the organization helps families and their children, for a lifetime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Retail Federation estimates that families will spend an average of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":7671,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_has_post_settings":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,72],"tags":[],"hashtags":[],"class_list":["post-7669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-grantee-stories","category-human-services"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Cradles to Crayons: Reducing the Cost Burden of Back-to-School Season | NPTrust<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"For families living in poverty, the cost of school supplies are often prohibitive.
