What is Sponsor a School?
Sponsor a School is a chance to change the future — right now.
Glasswing works in about 80 community schools. Each faces unique challenges, from limited resources to a history of local violence.
Good news: You can help.

Giving Circles
Collective giving allows you to team up with friends, family, or colleagues to pool your contributions and sponsor a school as a group. It’s a meaningful experience to share.
You can even plan a trip to visit the school together!

What to expect
Sponsoring a school is about building dreams. Here’s what you can look forward to as a school sponsor:
Frequent updates
You will receive regular updates from your school, so you can see what your sponsorship means to the community. Communications may include a video call with the principal, artwork from the kids, or a report from the teachers — and of course, lots of photos.
Virtual mentoring
You will have the option to meet students online and even provide virtual mentoring.
School visits
As a school sponsor, you are invited to visit your school. School trips allow you to learn more about the community, connect with the students, and volunteer in school-improvement projects. Bring family and friends!
