The Value of Giving Back: A Reminder for All Seasons

As the year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting not on achievements or milestones, but on the relationships, growth, and opportunities we’ve shared this year. The holiday season has a unique way of reminding us of what truly matters — our connections with others and our shared responsibility to make a difference.

Amplifying Generosity Together

At Funds For Learning, this mindset isn’t limited to one season. Supporting schools and libraries — the lifelines of their communities — is at the heart of everything we do, whether it’s through our tools, training, or advocacy. I’m continually inspired by my team members, who give generously of their time, talents, and resources to causes close to their hearts. Their efforts — big or small — remind me that even small acts of generosity create ripples far beyond what we can see.

It’s also why we believe in amplifying generosity together. By matching employee donations to nonprofits and encouraging participation in EdTech initiatives, we aim to multiply impact where it’s needed most. Together, we are stronger.

How Will You Give Back?

This season, I encourage you to pause and consider: How will you give back? Maybe it’s volunteering, mentoring, or even taking time to support someone in need. However you choose to give, you’re contributing to something much bigger — to stronger, more connected communities.

I’d love to hear your ideas. How do you plan to give back, not just this season, but in the year ahead? Let’s inspire each other to carry the spirit of giving forward.
