WHY LEARN IT FORWARD
More than a
fundraiser.
Children deserve to encounter living ideas, beautiful language, and work worthy of their full attention. Learn It Forward makes fundraising itself part of that education.

- ✓ Every gift goes to the chosen participating school

GIVE TO THE GREATER WORK
Invest in children
who are learning to learn.
You do not need to sponsor a particular challenge to take part. A general gift supports the school you choose and its investment in children who are building habits of attention, courage, discipline, and joyful self-education.
Your generosity helps sustain the teachers, materials, spaces, and opportunities that allow this kind of learning to flourish.
