Take a breath! Holiday season 2013 is nearly behind us and all of us at Field Trip Factory hope you and your family and friends enjoyed a great season full of laughter, fun and cheer.
As the new year begins, we’ve been thinking of new resolutions and how to make a change in 2014. We found a great list of charities that benefit a community very near and dear to us: teachers. Working with teachers and students all across the nation introduces us to thousands of different classrooms and groups with vastly different needs. We are always interested in learning new ways to support our community of educators and group leaders and we wanted to share some of our favorite innovative ways to give back.
JustGive.org offers an impressive collection of charities to choose from. It’s a search engine for finding a cause in your neighborhood. Simply search your zip code, navigate the site to make a donation; it’s simple to use and features a wide range of organizations that work for the support of education.
Labels for Education is a fun and easy way to collect resources for schools all across the country! Today, over 60,000 schools and organizations are registered with the Labels for Education program, benefiting more than 42 million students.
