Every child deserves to walk in prepared.
The Caroline Hart Foundation provides school supplies and essential support to children in need across Jamaica and the United States — with a growing vision to reach the Caribbean and Africa.
Donna Hart
Our Story
Built on compassion.
Started with a name.
In 2015, Donna Hart founded The Caroline Hart Foundation with a simple belief: that a child who walks into school with the right supplies walks in with confidence.
The foundation was created to honor a spirit of compassion and care for children who deserve every chance to thrive. What began as a local act of service has grown into a cross-border mission — reaching children in Jamaica and the United States, with a vision expanding toward the Caribbean and Africa.

Rooted in two nations.
Growing toward more.
The Caroline Hart Foundation currently serves children and schools in Jamaica and the United States. Our long-term vision is to expand our outreach throughout the Caribbean and into communities across Africa.
Why It Matters
The cost of going without.
For many families, basic school supplies are a real financial burden. When a child shows up without the right materials, it shows — in their confidence, their participation, and their sense of belonging.
"We help children feel prepared, supported, and remembered."— Donna Hart, Founder
Confidence starts with preparation
A child with their own supplies participates more fully and feels like they belong in the classroom.
Relief for families in need
Back-to-school costs add up fast. Our donations reduce that burden so parents can focus on what matters most.
Community says: you're not forgotten
Every backpack delivered is a message to a child that their community believes in them and is invested in their future.
