2025 Backpack Program
The National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) is proud to announce the
launch of its Backpack Program, designed to support students across the country by
providing essential school supplies! The goal is to prepare and empower students with
the necessary tools to succeed in school, while also promoting the importance of
education and community involvement.
We are excited to offer women legislators the opportunity to receive an assortment of
backpacks to be distributed to students in their district, ideally those between
kindergarten and fifth grade.
Who is eligible to apply?
Applications are open to Active NFWL Members – Elected women who have attended an NFWL event or engaged with the organization within the past two years OR Prospective Members – Elected women who are interested in becoming involved with NFWL in the near future.
What is the timeline of this initative?
Applications will be open from April 1 to May 16, 2025, followed by a review period from May 16 to 23. Selected participants will be notified by June 1, with backpacks shipped between July 14 and 31. Participants are expected to host distribution events in August, and final reports will be due to NFWL in October 2025.
What are the requirements once I've been selected?
A final report must be submitted to Ayushi Mehta, at
[email protected], no later than October 1, 2025. More details to come!
