Give Monthly

Be an everyday champion for education.

Give monthly to help students succeed every day.

When you give the gift of education every month, your donation supports the most vulnerable students and highest needs schools in Hillsborough County, bridges inequities so every child can benefit from a high-quality public education and helps close achievement gaps for students who don’t have the same resources as some of their peers.

Students need our help every day and our work doesn’t stop—we hope neither will your gift.

Why Give Monthly?

Simplicity

Becoming a recurring monthly donor is easy and convenient. By opting to make a budget friendly, tax-deductible monthly gift, your donation will automatically be processed on the 28th of each month. It also allows you to space out your contribution over time.

Sustainability

Your monthly commitment provides consistent support that helps HEF make strategic investments, build a predictable source of funding and allocate more resources to advance our programs with a long-term vision to create meaningful change.

Support

Month after month you can feel good knowing your gift has a deep impact on students’ lives by providing free school supplies, mentoring, scholarships and technology for digital equity, plus support, recognition and development for our teachers.
