Who We Are

Pink Feather Foundation was created in 2012, in an effort to help our community any way that we could. We did a lot of fundraising events for cancer patients, fire victims, and people in need. We became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in 2014, and tried to continue helping those in need. In 2017 we discussed being more focused on one area. We decided that we would like to help teachers get the clothing they need for their students without costing them anything out of pocket.

What We Do

Pink Feather Foundation works to improve the lives of students by partnering with teachers to confidentially provide clothing and accessories at no cost.​ By providing an on-line password protected store. The teacher can sit with a student to pick out the needed items. We believe by providing this opportunity a student will feel: CONFIDENT When students feel unsure of their clothes or appearance, insecurity and anxiety can set in. From the start of the Pink Feather process, students are empowered to choose clothing that fits their personal style. By eliminating the burden of worry about clothing and accessories, students can confidently participate in their school and community. ENGAGED Due to Pink Feather’s unique design, teachers and students are connected throughout the process. When that relationship is strengthened, students work harder and become more engaged in the classroom. PREPARED A student’s increased engagement often extendsbeyond the classroom into opportunities in athletics, extra-curricular activities, and employment. When kids are confident and engaged, they are prepared to try new things, realize new opportunities, and discover new passions.
