IT'S TIME: Simple Modern Launches National “Stock Your School” Giveaway to Fund Teacher Wish Lists, Equip Classrooms and Support Entire School Staff

Nominations open July 14 for the major back-to-school giveaway, which impacts teachers, students and schools across the United States, and aligns with Simple Modern’s mission to exist to give generously.

Simple Modern is bringing back its highly successful “Stock Your School” initiative for a second year, expanding the program’s reach in support of educators and school communities nationwide.

Launching July 14, the giveaway invites teachers across the United States to nominate themselves to win a school-wide prize package that goes far beyond the classroom. After tens of thousands of public votes in its inaugural year, the 2025 edition includes bigger prizes and broader impact.

What Winners Can Expect with Simple Modern’s Stock Your School:

• 10 teachers will have their full Classroom Wish Lists funded.

• The 10 winning schools will receive 500 water bottles for students. 

• Every staff member at the winning schools — including teachers, principals and support staff — will receive a Simple Modern Harper Tote Bag.

• New for 2025: Each of the 10 winning schools will also receive a $1,000 grant to support their greatest needs.

"Simple Modern exists to give generously, and we give away 10% of our profits every year,” said Mike Beckham, CEO and co-founder of Simple Modern. "One of our five major areas of giving is education, and Stock Your Schools allows us to rally behind educators and equip both classrooms and campuses with resources they truly need. That’s why we love Stock Your Schools and the tangible support it can bring to a teacher, a classroom and a school."

How It Works:

• Nominations Open: July 14, 2025 (Click here to nominate yourself or a teacher!)

• Nomination Period: 4 days only

• Public Voting: Begins July 21, running for 10 days until July 31. Vote once a day, every day!

• Winners Announced: Early August. The top 10 teachers with the most votes will win!

Last year’s campaign drew thousands of teacher nominations and more than 66,000 votes, fully funding 10 wish lists and delivering water bottles to entire student bodies. With added grants and expanded staff gifting this year, Simple Modern aims to deepen its impact on schools at every level.
