What began in 2023 as a small act of gratitude for local schools near Rugs.com's headquarters in Fort Mill, SC, has grown into a nationwide movement. Rugs.com has successfully placed thousands of free rugs in over 1,200 classrooms across all 50 states.

Due to the overwhelming success of Paying it Floorward and the high volume of participation in the initial launch, Rugs.com has relaunched the program with significant enhancements, making it easier for teachers and community members to nominate and share inspiring stories of deserving educators. The new process encourages community nominations and now empowers teachers to apply directly.

Seeing the need to foster positive learning environments, Rugs.com has spent the last few years empowering teachers and communities to add warmth, comfort, and personality to educational spaces.

"'Paying it Floorward' is our promise to back teachers and help create warm, inspiring classrooms where students can thrive. The strong response from communities nationwide tells us this work matters. Our latest updates deepen our investment in education, direct support for educators and the classroom resources they need, because supporting teachers is the most effective way to support students." — Jasmine Karasek, CFO & Co-Owner
