Ripple’s pledge seeks to address these challenges by providing critical support to students, teachers, and school staff, ultimately helping to rebuild confidence and drive positive results in the classroom.


“Ripple has always championed financial and educational access for all, and we’re partnering with some of the most impactful organizations—DonorsChoose and Teach For America—to benefit thousands of classrooms across the US,” said Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple. 


He emphasized the hope that this initiative will inspire others to contribute, starting with Teacher Appreciation Week and continuing throughout the year to ensure that educators and students have the necessary resources to create a brighter future.


In a unique approach, the majority of the $25 million grant will be disbursed in Ripple USD (RLUSD), the company’s US dollar-backed stablecoin. Educational Opportunities For Students


Ripple’s partnerships with these organizations will focus on a range of innovative initiatives throughout the year. This includes funding for thousands of classroom projects and teacher requests during Teacher Appreciation Week, supporting Teach For America’s Ignite tutoring program nationwide, and launching a national STEM Innovation Challenge. 


Additionally, Ripple unveiled that the collaboration aims to enhance financial literacyamong students and educators, equipping them with the skills necessary for success in a dynamic job market.


“Teachers are going the extra mile for their students’ education, even spending hundreds—sometimes thousands—of dollars out-of-pocket for their classrooms,” said Alix Guerrier, CEO of DonorsChoose. 


He praised Ripple’s initiative for providing direct support to teachers, enabling them to access materials that enhance learning experiences and set students on a path to a successful future. Related Reading Analyst Says $2 XRP Price Is Low As It Still Isn’t “Activated” 1 day ago
