Giving Back
Ensuring Every Child Is Prepared
Effectv teamed up with Kids In Need Foundation that works to ensure every child is prepared to learn and succeed in the classroom by providing free school supplies to students most in need. Giving back to the communities it serves is part of the company’s DNA.
In 2018, five backpack building events were held in Effectv's offices in New York, New York, Englewood, Colorado; Bethesda, Maryland; Quincy, Massachusetts; and Sacramento, California. There, employees and invited friends, family and colleagues came together to fill the backpacks with school supplies. Watch the video to learn more about the initiative. #SchoolSuppliesChangingLives
