At A+ Schools, we envision a Pittsburgh where every kid succeeds, in every school, every day. A+ Schools works with community and systems partners to mobilize resources and coordinate supports so that:

  • Every community is a place where all kids can get to school safely and on time
  • Every family has what they need so kids come to school ready to learn
  • Every school is a place where all students & staff feel they belong and are excited to be

A+ Schools is funded by grants and generous donations from individuals like you! Your contribution helps fund our work as we build partnerships with schools and convene resources to support getting every child to school every day. With your help, we are removing barriers to regular attendance that impact student access to opportunities and achievement.

Getting every kid to school every day is a problem all of us can work together to solve. Thank you for supporting our work!

The A to Z Fund: Real-time supports for students, families, and school staff

Kids who come to school with less need more. Increased student needs often create strain on existing resources at schools where staffs spend more time addressing basic needs. The A to Z Fund provides real-time supports for those who need it, when they need it.
A+ Schools utilizes the A to Z Fund to provide funding to our partner schools for items such as family events, sports equipment, grade-level celebrations, winter clothes, snacks, classroom supplies and more.
