Overview

Mission

To enrich education by providing free repurposed and new materials to teachers while simultaneously providing companies an alternative to discarding their gently used office supplies into landfills. C2c collects donations from companies, individuals, and organizations and gives them away to teachers through a "free" store run by volunteers.

What it reported doing in 2025

To collect and distribute donated supplies and inventory for use within the area of duluth/superior public schools.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
