Nonprofit Overview

To foster a positive and supportive environment that nurtures the emotional health and academic success of students.

Our weekly handwritten notes serve as reminders to students that they are cared for and capable of overcoming any obstacle. Research shows positive affirmation can profoundly impact young minds, nurturing perseverance, and resilience. While many nonprofits focus solely on financial assistance, Post It Love recognizes the equal importance of emotional support. By bridging this gap, we empower students to reach their full potential.

Our comprehensive approach is founded on the belief that when a child feels seen, heard, and uplifted, they unlock the drive and determination to create a promising future. We envision learning environments where every student, regardless of background, has the tools, love and encouragement they need to flourish. With your support, we can continue uplifting underserved youth and inspiring the leaders of tomorrow. Join us in bringing Post It Love to students nationwide.
