Free Things for Schools and CPS
Our schools are always in need of various materials and equipment.
Often companies and individuals give CPS material goods such as furniture, books,
office supplies, musical instruments and new or gently used computers*. We post
items here so that schools can see what is available. Principals and staff can
use the form below to request items from the list. Donations are tax deductible.
If you or your organization would like to make a donation, please call (773)
553-1540.
View Items / Request
Form
Items will be posted by the Department of External Resources and Partnerships.
Unless otherwise noted, the items will remain listed through Friday of the week
in which they are posted. All requests made in the week will be considered; however,
submission of a request does not guarantee receipt of the item. Efforts
will be made to distribute items widely over the course of the year. Schools
(or programs) who are chosen to receive the items will be notified as quickly
as possible the week following the request. Principals must designate a point
person with whom delivery arrangements shall be made.
In addition to various individuals and organizations donating things to Chicago
Public Schools, we asked our schools to fill out a specific wish list and turn
it in to us. Below you will find some of the items they have requested. Please click
here to see a list of items schools needs.
Schools,
We would like to know what Things you need for your school. Please
complete and fax the Free Things
Wish List.
