A one-stop shop for everything schools and students need

Stop using outdated, time-consuming, and expensive methods to order school supplies and apparel. 

Grad Giveback offers a modern solution that delivers compounding benefits.


Grad Giveback’s Process

  • We provide all of the resources that describe how to order. You simply decide how to distribute to students.
  • Students and parents order and pay using your school’s custom portal—no school costs, paper forms, wrong items or pin money exposure.
  • We send regular email reminders for students to order and even provide you with extra back-to-school kits for students who missed the ordering deadline or for hardship cases.
  • Use your Giveback check and admin portal to furnish your district with select classroom supplies, facility solutions and more, at a sharp discount—no purchase order, RFP, or transactions required.
  • Alternatively, use our Budget Retention Tool to equip your district with any items in our marketplace with consistent and fair pricing to supplement your Giveback; A new source of revenue, issued with complete spending autonomy.

Traditional Ordering Process

  • Spend time requesting a quote for potential fees and upfront school costs.
  • Use inefficient paper-based process to collect orders, payment, check for errors and omissions or hold order box leaving school vulnerable to pin money exposure. 
  • Students shopping retail arrive on the 1st day of class with wrong items - notebooks, unsafe markers and glue.
  • Purchasers tasked with getting the most bang for your buck research products, suppliers, and rates through multiple channels.
  • Institute RFP process creating additional productivity waste along with the time spent negotiating and uncovering hidden pricing.
  • Once decisions have been finalized, coordinate complex purchase order and accounting inputs.
  • Minimal to $0 in revenues or options to assist in retaining your back-to-school budget.
  • Spend time working with your vendor to accommodate students who forgot to order or ordered too late, resulting in consignment products and overage return responsibilities.

responsibilities that lead to paper manifests in
schools specifically (digital or otherwise), the time
wasted is probably significantly higher.
