Heya classers, appreciate you joining us again!

In our previous post, we gave some basic background on DonorsChoose.org, one of the biggest classroom fundraising, non-profit ventures in the US today. Today, we’re going to visit another of its counterparts in that competitive space.

AdoptAClassroom.org is a non-profit organization that- similarly to DonorsChoose- connects sponsors and donors on their platform. They service K-12 schools, as well as private and charter schools nationally. Their mission is simple- to provide a platform that allows teachers and schools to request and receive funds toward fulfillment.

Here are a few impacts points for AAC.

• They’ve been successfully operational for over 20 years.
• They’ve fund-raised for over 200, 000 classrooms across the US and in US territories.
• Touched the lives of over five million students.
• They have raised a stunning total of almost $40 million toward a better quality of education for our leaders of tomorrow. [Source]

Like DonorsChoose, Adopt A Classroom is out here doing the work. You can support individual teachers, schools, or simply participate in a surprise adoption. They’re also engage in other philanthropic efforts like Spotlight Funds, which is a platform that schools can apply to for grants and scholarships, as well as Relief Funds like the most recent California Wildfires Classrooms Relief Fund.

So head on over to AdoptAClassroom.org and check them out! Read up on mission, their programs, their process for both teachers and schools/districts, as well as their blog!

Up next we get to do some exciting stuff. We’ll take a featuring look at what some of these classroom fundraising projects look like!
