A North Alabama nonprofit
Every student deserves a way to learn and take part.
Gems Foundation gives special education classrooms, starting with Limestone County Schools, the resources they need: sensory tools, adaptive materials, classroom instruments and art supplies, plus small grants to teachers. We also create art-based and music-based learning aids, so every student has a way to learn and take part in class.
What we do
Three ways we support special education classrooms
Classroom Resources
Sensory tools, adaptive materials, classroom instruments, and art supplies for special education classrooms.
Teacher Grants
Small grants that help special education teachers bring their own ideas to life in the classroom.
Art and Music Learning Aids
Art-based and music-based learning aids created for special needs classes, so every student has a way in.
Where we plan to begin
Gems Foundation is new. We plan to begin our work with special education classrooms in Limestone County Schools, then grow from there across North Alabama.
