As students head back to school, families across the country are doing more than buying backpacks and supplies. They’re stepping into this new school year with confidence, clarity, and a sense of purpose.

That’s because, more than ever, parents know they have a voice—and they’re using it.

Thanks to you, Defending Education has been right there with them.

Your past support helped build this movement. You helped us grow from a small, determined team into a nationally recognized organization that stands up for students, empowers parents, and exposes what’s really happening in America’s schools.

Will you please make a generous gift of $100, $75, $50, or more to help Defending Education in the coming year?

In the coming year, we’re expanding even further, with the clear goal of becoming the premier education nonprofit in the country.

We’re scaling fast, and it’s working. Policymakers now call on us for guidance. Journalists rely on us for original research. And families across the country view Defending Ed as a trusted resource when their rights are at stake.

But we can’t continue this growth—or meet the challenges ahead—without you. Your donation today—whether $100, $75, or $50—will make a real difference. Every dollar makes a difference. Your renewed gift helps us file more legal complaints and FOIA requests, publish more investigations that expose the truth, and respond quickly when families and students reach out for help. You’ll be fueling real action—and real change.

Thank you for any amount you can give today.

Nicole Neily – President, Defending Education
