Virgina G. Piper Charitable Trust Schools


Back to School Clothing Drive teams up with Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust to provide school uniforms and clothing

Each year the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust awards money to more than 250 schools to purchase school clothing for their students. Back to School Clothing Drive provides those schools with the opportunity to receive a matching grant up to $2,500 through our Student Attire For Education (SAFE) program, thus doubling the money available to purchase uniforms and outfits for students who come to school without the appropriate attire.

For many families, purchasing school clothing is a very difficult financial challenge. The Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust and the Back to School Clothing Drive addresses this need through their collaborative efforts. Once the school receives the funds from the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust, the school then applies for a matching grant at www.backtoschoolclothingdrive.com. Matching funds are limited and first-come-first-serve so schools are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

Double you Funds through the Back to School Clothing Drive

Combining the Back to School Clothing Drive SAFE matching grant with the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust funds DOUBLES the money schools have to spend on their students. There is no other program like it in the State of Arizona and is not offered by any other school uniform provider or local retailer. Shopping convenience and price are the determining factor in shopping with the Back to School Clothing Drive according to our partner schools.

Upon approval the school gains immediate access to the online retail store via www.backtoschoolclothingdrive.com, to purchase their required school clothing. Schools receiving a matching grant from the Back to School Clothing Drive must purchase their uniforms through the online retail store.
