Supplying Tools for Classroom Success

The America First Charitable Foundation’s Backpack Bonanza supports thousands of children who attend Title I schools in Arizona, California, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, and Utah. This program is powered by the dedication of our amazing members, employees, and partners and makes a significant impact by providing essential backpacks and school supplies to children who need them most. We aim to support kids throughout our communities in their educational journey by ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed in the classroom.

In 2026, we partnered with Real Salt Lake and Interform to donate over 2,650 backpacks filled with school supplies to 33 schools and organizations across all six states. Interform generously donated 1,500 backpacks to help make this year’s Backpack Bonanza possible.

Thank you to our members, employees, partners, and donors who continue to make this annual program possible and help us support students throughout the communities we serve.
