Funding Libraries and the Arts
The A.N.D.Y. Foundation wants to provide Kansas teachers and librarians with opportunities to fund their classrooms and make a difference in the lives of their students. Kansas ranks 30th in the nation for education funding with threats to funding at the federal and state level happening all the time. It's time we start showing up for them like they show up for their students.
Our mission to ensure young people have access to the creative resources they need to explore their potential and build vibrant futures.
Kansas Educators are Underpaid and Overworked
Just like teachers deserve more support, students deserve education for creative passions. Students that have access to art and music education are 4 times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement and are 5 times less likely to drop out of school. Because of the necessity of these topics, the A.N.D.Y. Foundation strives to provide educators with supplies and funding for during and afterschool projects.
The A.N.D.Y. Foundation encourages a lifelong passion for creating by supplying students with high-quality reading, music education, and art materials.
