This Teacher Appreciation Week, KKR is stepping up to lighten teachers’ loads and make classroom wishes a reality. The firm is flash-funding select public school teachers in Chicago, IL; Minneapolis, MN; and Tulsa, OK, fully meeting their AdoptAClassroom.org classroom pages’ fundraising goals.
Teachers have big dreams for their classrooms. But too often, they’re left funding those goals themselves. Teachers spend an average of $860 out of pocket each year on supplies their students need to succeed.
With prices rising, teaching is only getting more expensive. In fact, teachers are more concerned about inflation than the average American. They’re not just trying to manage their personal finances but also provide the best educational supplies for their students.
KKR’s support gives teachers the flexible funding they need to bring their engaging educational activities to life, without dipping into their own wallets.
KKR’s Commitment to Empowering Teachers
This isn’t the first time KKR has partnered with AdoptAClassroom.org to support teachers. After Hurricanes Milton and Helene struck in 2024, KKR matched donations to AdoptAClassroom.org’s Natural Disaster Fund. In 2025, they matched donations again to aid teachers impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires. Their support met teachers’ increased classroom needs to make disaster recovery as smooth as possible.
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, join KKR by donating to AdoptAClassroom.org’s Natural Disaster Fund. Your gift will help rebuild classrooms so learning doesn’t stop.
