Ripple Pledges $25 Million to Strengthen U.S. Classrooms and Empower Educators

May 5, 2025 OnEquity

Ripple has announced a $25 million commitment to support teachers and classrooms across the United States, aiming to close persistent gaps in educational resources. The initiative, unveiled on Monday, will deliver funding through Ripple USD (RLUSD), the company’s U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin.

The effort is part of Ripple’s broader mission to promote financial and educational equity and will be carried out in collaboration with DonorsChoose and Teach For America. The funds will support classroom projects, tutoring scholarships, and financial literacy programs designed to improve academic outcomes and prepare students for an evolving workforce.

According to Ripple, the move comes at a time when more than half of U.S. adults express dissatisfaction with the state of K–12 education. The initiative aims to foster economic resilience and expand access to tools that help both students and educators thrive.

“Ripple has always championed access to financial and educational opportunities,” said Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple. “By partnering with impactful organizations like DonorsChoose and Teach For America, we’re investing in thousands of classrooms and future leaders across the country.”

The $25 million commitment will fund several key programs:

  • Classroom projects and teacher requests, with a special focus during Teacher Appreciation Week.
  • Teach For America’s Ignite Tutoring Fellows, which pairs students with high-impact academic mentors.
  • A National STEM Innovation Challenge, promoting science and technology skills in underserved communities.
  • Financial literacy initiatives, equipping students and teachers with tools to build long-term economic stability.

Teachers often spend significant personal funds—sometimes thousands of dollars annually—to supply their classrooms. Ripple’s support helps relieve this burden by directly funding essential resources. “Ripple’s generosity helps ensure students have what they need to succeed,” said Alix Guerrier, CEO of DonorsChoose.

Aneesh Sohoni, CEO of Teach For America, described the initiative as “transformative,” noting it will expand key programs, foster innovation through the Reinvention Lab, and provide critical support to incoming corps members. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to educational equity and opportunity,” he said.

Ripple’s latest pledge builds on a strong record of social impact. Since 2018, the company has donated over $200 million to global initiatives, with nearly 80% of its employees engaging in volunteer or philanthropic programs.

Ripple launched RLUSD in late 2024 to enhance its payments infrastructure and compete with leading stablecoins like USDT and USDC. The stablecoin is rapidly gaining traction and is nearing a market capitalization of $317 million, according to CoinMarketCap.
