About us

A North Alabama nonprofit for special education classrooms

Our mission

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.

It also creates art-based and music-based learning aids for special needs classes, so every student has a way to learn and take part in class.

Where we are starting

Gems Foundation is a new nonprofit corporation based in North Alabama. We plan to begin our work with special education classrooms in Limestone County Schools.

What guides us

  • Every student belongs

    We believe every student should have a way to learn and take part in class.

  • Learning through art and music

    Art and music can open new ways to understand, express, and connect.

  • Rooted in North Alabama

    We are starting close to home, with the classrooms in our own community.
