All In for 10 Years of Impact: The shift_ed Story

For 10 years, shift_ed has been boldly accelerating student potential throughout Guilford County by connecting students and educators with the resources, relationships, and opportunities they need to succeed.

What began as a vision to create greater opportunities for students has grown into a community-wide effort involving schools, educators, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and supporters who believe every student deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.

As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we are reflecting on the impact we have made together, and looking ahead to what is possible in the next decade. Our 2026 Accelerating Impact Luncheon: All In for 10 Years of Impact will bring our community together to celebrate the students, educators, partners, and supporters who have been an important part of our journey.

The luncheon will help raise critical funds to support shift_ed’s programs and initiatives serving Guilford County students and educators. From supporting teachers with classroom resources to helping students prepare for college, careers, and the workforce, every contribution helps create pathways to opportunity.

We need your support to continue this important work. Please consider making a gift today or bid towards a silent auction item to help us reach our fundraising goal and ensure that shift_ed can continue providing meaningful resources, opportunities, and support to students and educators throughout Guilford County.

Ten years is a milestone, but it is not the finish line. It is an opportunity to celebrate how far we have come and recommit to the work ahead.

We invite you to be All In with shift_ed. Your gift, no matter the amount, can help us reach our goal and make an impact for years to come.

Together, we can continue to shift what is possible for students, educators, and our community.
