About Legwork
The idea wasnever the problem.
Educators have good ideas. The funding exists. The hours to go get it don’t. Legwork fills that gap, for free.
Why Legwork exists
One year, one teacher wrote about 32 grants over almost seven months to raise $10,000 for one field trip.
The students had never left their community. That trip happened. Too many like it never do, because no one in the building has seven months to spare.
What we believe
Educators know best
The people in the building know what students need.
Time is the barrier
It's almost never the idea. It's the hours.
Straight answers
If nothing fits, or we're not the right help, we say so.
Schools choose
No vendor picks, no steering, no cut. No fee, no retainer, no share of an award.
The board
An independent boardkeeps us honest.
Educators, nonprofit leaders, and finance people who give their time so every school, and every dollar, gets a fair shake.
- Volunteers who answer to the mission, not to any company
- A second set of eyes on every big decision about money
- Books open to review, every single month
