About Teachers' Treasures
Teachers' Treasures Inc directs large-scale in-kind support to Indianapolis-area schools and related organizations, with 2023 grants built around one clear purpose: providing needed supplies to students in need. The single largest grant in the recent record went to Msd Wayne Township, followed by Indianapolis Public Schools and Msd Warren Township, showing how the organization channels major resources through school systems serving K–12 students. That pattern extends across a broad mix of public districts, charter schools, and education-focused partners in the city and nearby towns. The foundation’s work fits its stated mission of ensuring teachers, educators, and students have access to free, vital resources for classroom success. Recent grants also reached organizations outside traditional district structures, including Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana Inc and Midwest Food Bank, while still carrying the same supply-focused purpose. The recent grant record shows a funder centered on direct support for school participation and classroom readiness rather than cash grants to individuals.
What Teachers' Treasures Funds
Education access is the core theme in the recent record. Teachers' Treasures Inc gave $1,824,106 to Msd Wayne Township and $1,270,347 to Indianapolis Public Schools, both for providing needed supplies to students in need. Similar awards to Msd Warren Township and Msd Washington Township show repeated support for school systems serving large numbers of K–12 students. The foundation also funds broader student-support channels. It awarded $413,000 to Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana Inc and another $413,000 to Midwest Food Bank, each for providing needed supplies to students in need. That same purpose appears in grants to On My Way Pre K and the Indiana School for the Deaf, indicating support that reaches early learning and specialized educational settings as well. A separate strand appears in its support for alternative and charter-school networks, including Excel Centers of Central and Southern Indiana and Indianapolis-based school models such as Irvington Community Schools and Christel House Academydors - South & Westwantanabee.

The grants shown are episodic and operational in character, tied to supplying students rather than unrestricted support.
