For the kids

Heart of America transforms learning spaces all across the United States. Communities bring us ideas and call upon our decades of expertise in developing education equity. We’ve renovated nearly 1,400 classrooms, libraries, STEAM labs, college/career centers, school gymnasiums, and community centers. In addition to our space and whole-school makeovers, we have provided resources, including over 4.4 million books, and infused over $14.3 million in technology.

Help Us Build the Future of Learning

For nearly 30 years, we’ve been turning dreams into reality for teachers, students, and communities — one space at a time. Whether it’s a gym, a STEAM lab, a library, or any other place where learning comes to life, we’re there, helping create safe, inspiring environments that support education and growth. Your support makes it possible. Join us in our mission to build brighter futures. Every donation helps create the kinds of spaces where students thrive and educators succeed.

It should go without saying

The quality of an educational environment dramatically impacts a child’s development. Many developmental factors — such as health, housing, and parenting — are recognized as crucial to education, but the physical space is so important that it’s often referred to as a student’s third teacher.

Holistic collaboration

 By connecting everything in a young person’s ecosystem — even their out-of-school time — we work to find the right solution to a community’s educational challenges. We learn the need, assess the challenges, and activate partners to transform each space, sometimes in just one day. We’re all about efficiency and efficacy! This includes:

Resource distributions

Supporters select a community to support and engage employees to provide resources such as books and technology to an under-resourced school.

Transformations

Taking a critical look at how a room or area is used currently and how a new design, additional resources, furniture, and technology can create a modern and motivating learning environment.

Consulting

Sometimes, a fresh perspective is all it takes to capture new possibilities! This fee-for-service is ideal for both non-profits and for-profits who may not require a full-scale, traditional engagement with our entire team or have a major funder.
