Fuel the doodles.

Doodle Street sends art supplies to classrooms where budgets don't cover the basics. Your donation gives students what they need to imagine, build, and create.

Welcome to Doodle Street.

K-8 art programs are the first to lose funding when school budgets tighten. Students miss out on projects that teach them to think creatively, solve problems, and express themselves.

Doodle Street fills the gap. We deliver quality supplies that make foundational arts education possible in under-resourced elementary and middle schools.

Our Exploreables

An Exploreable is a simple studio set you can open with your kid anytime. It invites them to slow down, look closely, and start making in their own way. Everything they need is in the box, just set it out and let their curiosity take over.

Every Exploreable you bring home sends supplies directly to classrooms that need them most.

Who can request supplies?

Any K–8 art teacher in an under-resourced school can request supplies. If you're a high school teacher, please email us at hey@doodlestreet.org so we can curate a kit that works for your students!

Can I donate supplies directly instead of money?

Right now we're focused on monetary donations so we can buy exactly what teachers request and ship efficiently. If you have a large quantity of unused supplies, reach out at hey@doodlestreet.org and we'll see if we can coordinate!

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes! Doodle Street is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You'll receive a receipt for tax purposes after your donation.

What about student privacy?

We only share photos of student artwork, never faces or last names. Teacher and donor information is never shared with third parties.
