Mission
Empowering creativity in underfunded elementary schools by providing essential art supplies through community philanthropy.
Vision
A future where every child, regardless of economic background, has access to quality education and opportunities for creative expression.
Values
Transparency
We commit to complete openness in how we use donations. By clearly attributing each dollar and resource directly to the classrooms and students we support, Villagr ensures donors see exactly how they’re making a difference.
Impact
We prioritize meaningful support by partnering directly with teachers and schools, ensuring every art supply box contains exactly what students need to thrive creatively.
Simplicity
We strive to make supporting education effortless. By directly engaging with teachers and administrators, Villagr simplifies the donation process—letting schools focus on teaching and students on learning.
BOARD MEMBERS
Villagr is comprised of business professionals and teachers who have genuine care for equitable education. All of the members volunteer their time, and take no salary or income from funds donated to the organization. Any money received goes directly to the schools.
