In the funder’s own words, from naeir.org, checked Oct 10, 2026.

NAEIR passes on donated overstock (pens, pencils, art supplies, books, stickers) from companies like Crayola and 3M. Joining is free, but teachers pay a small handling fee for each item they pick. NAEIR says teachers generally pay less than a third of discount-store prices. Items must be used in the classroom and can't be resold.

Not legal or tax advice. Whether your school should be for-profit or a nonprofit, or take on a loan, is a decision for your CPA or attorney. Always confirm the details on the funder’s own page before you apply.
