AdoptAClassroom. org addresses educational inequity by connecting donors with teachers and schools who need funding. Our goal is to ensure that all students have the tools they deserve to succeed in school. By 2025, we want to reach all of our nation’s school districts and provide funding for 3 out of 4 Title 1 schools.

We recruit individual donors to support education across the nation by adopting classrooms and schools. We reach out through traditional mail, email marketing, and social media. We recruit teachers and schools to participate in our programs by distributing information to school districts, participating in national and regional education conferences, and volunteer outreach. We also partner with corporations and foundations to fund classrooms and schools on a larger scale.

Our website: Teachers and schools can register on our free crowdfunding platform AdoptAClassroom. org. Donors may search and adopt teachers and schools directly on our website. Our proprietary eCommerce marketplace: No cash changes hands in our system. Teachers and schools spend their funds on our private eCommerce marketplace consisting exclusively of educational products and office supply vendors. Teachers and schools can get what they need, when they need it. All spending in our marketplace is tracked for full transparency. Our programs: Our Teacher Program, School Program, and Spotlight Funds serve accredited K-12 public, private, and charter schools and teachers. Spotlight Fund grants fund need based on subject area or Title I status. Our staff: Our staff of 12 employees is organized into Marketing & Development, Finance & Administration, and Operations & Technology. We leverage technology to keep our team as small and efficient as possible.

We gauge our progress and impact on the following metrics: - Total $ amount raised - # of schools, teachers, and students supported - # of Title I schools reached - # of school districts in the country reached
