Why Teachers Choose AdoptAClassroom.org

100% free for teachers. We do not take any fees from donations made to teachers.

No specific fundraising goals or timelines. The funds teachers raise are theirs to use immediately, so teachers can order what they need, when they need it. Teachers have up to one year to spend their funds.

Flexible funding for teachers. We don’t ask for project proposals from teachers when they crowdfund. Teachers can choose how to spend their funds in our marketplace every time they shop. Check out our list of vendors here.

Most teachers are eligible. We serve PreK-12 teachers in K-12 public, private, and charter schools.

Increased access to funding. We work with a diverse group of businesses, corporate sponsors, individual donors and foundations that support education. Classrooms that are registered with AdoptAClassroom.org are eligible to receive these funds.

Funding Your Classroom on AdoptAClassroom.org

We know that crowdfunding is not possible for every teacher. We offer
several ways to raise funds for your classroom in addition to crowdfunding,
including classroom supply grants, donor matching, and sweepstakes and giveaways.

Storytelling

What Teachers Are Saying:

“Other classroom crowdfunding platforms are not flexible enough. I like that AdoptAClassroom.org doesn’t make you hit a specific goal to use your donations.”

– Krystal, Second Grade Teacher

“It was so helpful to have AdoptAClassroom.org during my first year of teaching. I was able to get the supplies I needed that were not provided by the school, and now that I have them, I won’t need to get those things next year.”

– Korto, Special Education Teacher
