    THE "IMPACT PROJECT"

    FREE MATERIALS FOR EDUCATORS

  • WHAT is "The Impact Project"

    It is currently a facebook group that provides FREE MATERIALS TO ALL CERTIFIED EDUCATORS. We are looking to increase our ability to provide materials to our Educators, Homeschool Co-op and Non-profits that support ART & Education. This is the beginning of a volcanic impact in South Texas, sysmeic in nature and the tremors will be felt all over the state.

    WHY are we passionate about this project?

    Did you know that our EDUCATORS use their own funds for materials in their classroom? Budget cuts reduce what they have to supply their classroom. Even with our store being a low cost shop they still are taking money out of their own pockets. We have an abundance of materials that annually end up in the landfill or for sale when they should be made affordable for our educators to use to teach the next generation.

    It really is simple.. GIVE IT BACK.. PAY IT FORWARD.

    HOW do I get materials if I am an Educator?

    We are recieving materials at this time only, due to the volume of donations (WHOOP).. We will have the section of the shop open !! And it is growing!!

     

    As you are planning your next school year please let us know what type of materials you will need. We want to help you get those materials without cost to you !!

     

    Meanwhile IF you need something specific contact us either by email info@artablecuriosities.com or stop by the shop.

    Our desire is to get the materials you need. We will work to connect you with what you need.

  • How It Works

    Where do you come in?

    Purchase or Donate

    We have a list of items that have been vetted by Educators to be what they need and it changes when they tell us they are looking for something.

    Drop them by Artable Curiosities Thur-Sat 10-5 and tell us you want them to go to educators!

    Monetary Donation

    Maybe you don't have materials but you want to see the project grow and provide what SOUTH TEXAS Educators need.

    Financial donations are tax-deductbile because we are a 501(c)3 organizaiton. We have a list of needs to operate as well.

     

    We need a building for a designated store front.
