Back 2 School Day

We believe every child deserves to start the school year prepared and confident. Your generous contribution helps provide backpacks, school supplies, educational resources, and family support services to children and families in our community. Together, we can remove barriers to learning, support academic success, and ensure students have the tools they need to reach their full potential.

Maternal Support

By investing in maternal support and education, we’re helping parents and caregivers access the knowledge, resources, and community connections they need to thrive. Through education, self advocacy, prenatal and postpartum support, and family centered resources, we are promoting healthier outcomes for parents and children, reducing barriers to care, and building stronger communities for generations to come.

World AIDS Day

ITAVFoundation World AIDS Day Youth Concert is a community event that uses the power of music, art, and creative expression to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and overall health and wellness. Designed to engage youth and families, the event promotes education, prevention, early detection, and access to resources through interactive programming, community partnerships, rapid HIV testing, and health education. Our goal is to create an inclusive space that encourages informed decision making, reduces stigma, and inspires healthier communities.

Join Us in Making a Difference: Supporting Philadelphia's Public Schools!

The Philadelphia public school system faces significant challenges due to chronic underfunding. Teachers are often left to bridge the gap by spending their own money on classroom supplies. On average, 3.5 million educators nationwide are shelling out at least $500 annually out of their pockets to ensure their students have the tools they need to learn and succeed.

Our goal is simple: to give 1000 school bags full of supplies to students who need them. This will help teachers and families by making sure every child has what they need for school. 

Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference. 

What Your Donation Supports:

  • School bags filled with essential supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, rulers, and more.
  • Support a classroom: Providing supplies to teachers who often dip into their own pockets to provide for their classrooms.
  • Empowerment of students by ensuring they have the tools needed to excel in their education.
