AdoptAClassroom.org is matching gifts made to classrooms and schools on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, to help educators purchase the school supplies their students need to keep learning through the remainder of the school year. When a donor gives to a classroom or school fundraising page during our match, the donation will be doubled up to $50* by AdoptAClassroom.org!
Matching begins at 10 AM CST on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. Don’t wait to start fundraising, because we can only match 100 donations to teachers or schools registered on AdoptAClassroom.org.
