Giving Tuesday $10,000 Classroom Match

$10,000 Giving Tuesday Classroom Donation Match!

** The donation match is over. Thank you to everyone who participated. **

As the end of the first semester approaches, teachers are starting to run out of supplies for the year. We can help. In honor of  Giving Tuesday, we’re matching donations to PreK-12 teachers and schools on AdoptAClassroom.org! Our Giving Tuesday matching funds will help make your donation go twice as far and provide educators with the learning materials their students need.

Starting at 7am CST on November 30, 2021, when you donate to a classroom or school on AdoptAClassroom.org, we’ll double your donation, up to $50*. Our one-day match ends at 9pm CST, or when we reach our $10K goal. 

According to AdoptAClassroom.org’s 2021 Teacher Survey, 95% of teachers said their school supply budget was not enough to meet their students’ needs. For many teachers, their budget was depleted at the beginning of the year on back-to-school supplies. Teachers need community support to replenish basic supplies for their classrooms. 

Giving Tuesday is the most charitable global giving day of the year! If you’re an educator, share your classroom page with your network as soon as possible on November 30 so you don’t miss out on Giving Tuesday matching funds. Not registered on AdoptAClassroom.org? Create a classroom page before we start matching donations. See our step-by-step directions here.

AdoptAClassroom.org’s Giving Tuesday match begins at 7am CST on Tuesday, 11/30/2021 and ends at 9pm CST on Tuesday, 11/30/2021, or when we hit our $10k goal. Donors will be notified via email by 6pm CST on 12/1/2021 if their donation earned a match. We will update this blog page the moment the match runs out.
