Pappas Kids

About Us

The mission of the Pappas Kids Schoolhouse Foundation is a deeply committed effort to help low-income, homeless, and at-risk youth in Arizona schools succeed and grow in a positive educational environment. We partner with schools that serve disadvantaged youth and assist with their student’s academic, social, and family needs. By giving these students the opportunities they deserve and “eliminating the barriers” that childhood homelessness and poverty may create, we hope to change the course of their lives so they may become fully literate, productive members of our society.

Our organization is dedicated to making a profound impact on the lives of disadvantaged youth in Arizona through two unique programs. We extend our support to Title I or Title I eligible schools in Arizona that are tax-exempt under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code. Our assistance encompasses a wide range of initiatives including school classroom projects, literacy programs, supplies, uniforms, equipment, curriculum aids, and special programs. We also provide crucial support for extracurricular activities, offer small post-secondary education scholarships for program graduates, and equip students with the necessary technology as they embark on their college journeys.
