Found Foundation is a non-profit organization that collects unclaimed items from schools' lost and found departments and gives them to students in need through partnering charities. School administrators can schedule a pick-up via call, text, or our online form. Our team will then visit the school, collect the items, clean and sort them, and distribute them to our charity partners.
We accept a wide range of items found in lost and found departments, such as clothing, books, stationery, sports equipment, and electronic devices. However, we cannot accept items that are hazardous, broken, or in unsanitary conditions.
There is no minimum or maximum limit for a pick-up. However, to ensure efficiency in our operations, we recommend accumulating a reasonable amount of items before scheduling a pick-up.

You can schedule a pick-up as often as necessary, based on how quickly your lost and found accumulates unclaimed items. We're here to make your school's lost and found department more efficient and purposeful.
After we pick up the items, they are cleaned, sorted, and distributed to various charity partners. These charities then distribute the items to students in need.
No, there is absolutely no cost involved for the schools or the students receiving the items. Found Foundation is a non-profit organization and we are committed to providing this service completely free of charge.
Apart from scheduling pick-ups, you can support Found Foundation by spreading the word about our work, volunteering your time, or making a financial donation to support our operations.
Remember, every item counts, every item makes a difference.
