Meet Disrupt Gives Board Member Tarek Moussa: "I've worked with a handful of nonprofits in my life, and what I particularly like about Disrupt Gives is that it provides help to people that most need it, and for a part of their life that influences the direction of the rest of their life as well as that of future generations. Additionally, I always appreciate organizations with minimal administrative overhead costs so that the nonprofit can have the greatest impact possible and financial contributions end up benefitting the folks who truly need it." - Tarek Moussa, Advisor

Disrupt Gives is supporting a great cause!

Did you know that nearly 20,000 in SBISD are considered economically disadvantaged? These students have families who make difficult choices on where to use their resources, and pencils, pens, notebooks, and highlighters are not always near the top of the list. As funding shrinks and economic challenges grow, our campuses and our teachers are unable to fill those gaps. That 's where Spring Branch Education Foundation and generous donors can step in to help.

Distupt Gives has joined SBEF School Supplies Co-Chairs, Becky Fenn, and Kristi Robishaw, as they continue to equip Spring Branch ISD students with the tools they need to successfully start the school year.

$15 can provide school supplies for a student

$330 can provide school supplies for an entire classroom of elementary school students

$1,650 can provide school supplies for an entire elementary school grade level

Please consider making a donation to SBEF's Project School Supplies
