Why not start at a local Church ar that tyoe of place.  Have you heard of Samaratin's Purse.  Search for them on the web and you should be able to get help with referals.

I don't know where you can get information but I would suggest a Children's charity like Children in Need (I am a sponsor) or Great Ormond Street.

Put message in the local paper. Contact schools with your details and as above said put it on school notice boards. Equally you could look for home schooling groups and societies and advertise there. My Brother found his private tutor through school because they had told his english teacher their details. You could get a website this will be easily accesible for a lot of people who want to check you out quickly without having to ring or drop in. Create cards and flyers with simple details so parents know what they are getting

About all the "free" you can hope for is occasional samples. Staples has a teacher sale each year with some nice discounts.  Some Wal-Marts and K-Marts give supply donations too (dependent on the managers).\n\nAlso, your school will occasionally find $50 or $100 in the budget for you to spend... if you're lucky. Have wish lists set up and ready to go, because it usually goes "We have $50 each teacher, which must be spent by Friday... and since today is Wednesday we need your Purchase Orders tomorrow."\n\nThere's a reason why teachers have that $250 deduction off federal taxes... usually we can easily outdo that amount every year anyway, especially if we're elementary teachers.\n\nLocal businesses sometimes will step forward with donations, as do some religious and charitable fraternity groups (e.g. Elks, Masons, etc.).\n\nThere are some websites where you can sign up for classroom sponsors, like http://www.iloveschools.com/teachers.php .

I am in agreement with Sassy_91. The parochial school my daughter attended had financial assistance for those who could not afford the tuition.  \n\nCheck with the registrar(s) of the school(s) you are considering.  If it is a Roman Catholic school, you may want to contact the Education Dept of the Diocese/Archdiocese.\n\nRead the link provided.  There is a book listed about the subject your question addresses.

I'd approach local schools incase they have updated their resources material recently and have older books to get rid of. Or maybe try freecycle.org - you never know what people might have. Good luck and good on you x

Really any normal teacher supply store/website can help.  I see a lot of Christian type merchandise at the store my mother goes to.

I'll start by saying Thanks for the service!\n\nCheck with the school you want to go to and ask them.  They want students and that is a stron incentive for them to know the tricks to get different kinds of funding.  Though, be prepared for long waits on the phone.

I know someone who recently raised funds to build a primary school in Uganda. I may be able to connect you with someone who can help.

go to your local school supplies store (for teachers which you can find in the phonebook) and buy it there, they probably have things of that nature.

Go to the library and ask them for a book of trusts which award money.  You will probably have to go to your Central Library and then look in the reference section.  My sister did this and managed to get help with school fees for her daughter. There are a lot of very old and obscure trusts that offer money to people because they have worked in a shop, of live in particular areas etc.  It will take some time but it could be worth it.
