What We Do

Anyone can simply donate material goods, but what truly sets STATE apart is our signature bag drop rallies.

The Latest

The Inaugural Travel Academy Program

Our biggest #GiveForward initiative yet and a three year dream that is now a reality with a beautiful documentary film to capture it all.

A STATE Bags Film in partnership with Puzzle International

The Travel Academy, launched in July 2022 gave the gift of travel to middle school students from East New York, Brooklyn, flying them to California for a life-changing, jam-packed experience... because EVERYONE deserves to experience the magic of travel.

With the release of the Travel Academy film, we are also kicking off a giving initiative built to further support the founding students and families this coming year - in the ways they need it most. Give directly to our Travel Academy families here!

Directed & Edited by Katie Sadler
Produced by Scot Tatelman
Cinematography by Brendan Hall
