During the Festive Season as we celebrate various festivals like Diwali, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah & New Year’s, let’s spread the joy by donating a small amount to help make a difference in a child’s life so he/she has the necessary school supplies during these difficult times. Thank you for your efforts and dedication to creating a more sustainable world and building up our communities.

The community outreach partner for the 2022 Holiday Party will be Classroom Central! For the past two years, IFMA Charlotte has donated over $500 and 60 pounds of classroom supplies to Classroom Central’s school supply drive. IFMA Charlotte has engaged with Classroom Central to provide two opportunities to help Charlotte-area schools and students.

We will be collecting school supplies at the 2022 Holiday Party, at Fahrenheit on Thursday, December 15, 2022. Bring new school supplies (paper, pens, pencils, binders, etc) to Fahrenheit. The second opportunity is to donate through virtual fundraising. IFMA Charlotte has established a fundraising goal of $1000 for this outreach initiative.

Help IFMA Charlotte support Classroom Central as our 2022 Holiday Party community outreach partner! Happy Holidays from all of us at IFMA Charlotte!

Your gift will help students achieve their dreams! Classroom Central transforms each dollar donated into $9 worth of school supplies distributed into our community! That’s quite a return on your investment. Your generosity enriches academic performance by enabling children to be better prepared and more motivated to learn. Your caring allows teachers to focus on instruction rather than worry about the funds needed to support their students.

$10 can provide instructional resources and supplies for one educator

$35 can provide a backpack full of supplies for one student

$125 can equip one student for the entire second semester

$275 empowers an educator to foster equity by providing core supplies needed for the entire classroom

$500 sponsors a free shopping appointment for one teacher to get as much supplies as they need

$1000 provides two new teachers with surprise supplies boxes to equip their new classroom for the entire year
