How to Ensure Important AdoptAClassroom.org Emails Reach Your Inbox

Published on by

As a virtual, nonprofit organization, we send important messages that help us make a difference in classrooms across the nation every day. Often these messages are delivered by email only, and we want to ensure you receive them.

Teachers and principals receive messages when they have a new donation in their account to spend, when they have funds available that will soon expire, or when their classroom page is about to be deactivated due to inactivity.

Donors receive messages from teachers or principals they supported, and impact reports detailing how their gift was spent on classroom materials.

Here are a few easy steps to make sure you never miss one of these important messages:
