• .A PENCIL, A CRAYON, OR EVEN A SINGLE SHEET OF PAPER CAN SPARK IMAGINATION, IGNITE CURIOSITY, AND LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR LEARNING. BUT FOR THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, THESE BASIC TOOLS REMAIN OUT OF REACH DUE TO FINANCIAL BARRIERS.MORE THAN 70% OF PUBLIC-SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CENTRAL FLORIDA COME FROM FAMILIES WHO CANNOT AFFORD LUNCH, LET ALONE SCHOOL SUPPLIES. AS A RESULT, EDUCATORS OFTEN STEP IN, SPENDING UP TO $1,000 OF THEIR OWN MONEY EACH YEAR TO ENSURE THEIR STUDENTS HAVE WHAT THEY NEED TO SUCCEED.MOVED BY THIS REALITY, PHILANTHROPIST AND NONPROFIT LEADER GARY LANDWIRTH FOUNDED A GIFT FOR TEACHING (AGFT) IN 1998 TO BRIDGE THIS GAP. OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE YET POWERFUL: TO PROVIDE FREE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES THAT EMPOWER TEACHERS AND INSPIRE FUTURE LEADERS.AGFT FOCUSES ON SOLVING THREE CRITICAL CHALLENGES:1. THE LACK OF ESSENTIAL SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS;2. DECLINING FUNDING FOR CLASSROOM MATERIALS;3. THE UNTAPPED POTENTIAL OF SURPLUS SUPPLIES FROM BUSINESSES THAT CAN BE REPURPOSED FOR LEARNING.TODAY, AGFT IS PROUD TO BE CENTRAL FLORIDA'S PRIMARY PROVIDER OF FREE SCHOOL SUPPLIES YEAR-ROUND, DISTRIBUTING MORE THAN $82,000 WORTH OF MATERIALS EVERY SCHOOL DAY TO TEACHERS SERVING THE KIDS WHO NEED IT MOST.BY THE NUMBERS: 20242025 PROGRAM IMPACT 20,219 TEACHER SHOPPING VISITS AT OUR FREE TEACHER SUPPLY STORES $11.8 MILLION WORTH OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND RESOURCES DISTRIBUTED $2.3 MILLION IN BULK DELIVERIES MADE DIRECTLY TO SCHOOLS 500 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN TUITION-FREE MUSIC EDUCATION 20.8 MILLION POUNDS OF GOODS DIVERTED FROM LANDFILLS SINCE INCEPTIONTHROUGH STRONG COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS AND A COMMITMENT TO KEEPING OVERHEAD UNDER 5%, AGFT HAS DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN $187 MILLION IN SCHOOL SUPPLIES OVER 27 YEARS AND HOSTED MORE THAN 415,000 TEACHER SHOPPING TRIPS.

  Expenses $12,996,895 · Grants $11,846,560

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
