How can businesses and nonprofit organizations support the Expo?

Sponsorship

Financial contributions help purchase the necessary items that each child needs to have a great start for school. On average parents will have to spend $27 per child, making it difficult for low-income families with multiple children.

Vendor Booths

Organizations are encouraged to set up a booth providing information and to donate school supplies. The booth fee is $35 for nonprofit and $75 for all other organizations. Those wanting to sell goods during this event also pay a $250 fee.

In-Kind Donations

Every donated item will be distributed. Please prepare donations for at least 125 children.

Ready! Set! Go! Back To School is a collaboration among the IMA, the Savannah-Chatham County Public

Schools, the City of Savannah, nonprofit organizations, businesses and churches.

It began in 2008 as a project of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance (IMA) to provide school supplies to youth. The event has grown from its original mission and now gives parents school supplies, information and other resources to help their children have successful school year.
