    Does GCS Accept In-Kind Donations? 

    GCS does accept in-kind donations that align with district and school priorities. GCS may decline to accept in-kind donations that it determines do not fit these goals. In-kind donations are reviewed internally by staff to determine the school or district's capacity to receive and use a donation of equipment, technology, furniture, etc. The needs of schools and programs vary across the district.

    School Board policy and procedure ECK, ECK-P provides additional guidance about donations.   

    If you are interested in contributing to a specific program or school, please contact that program or school directly to discuss the opportunity.
