Ripple said most of the original funding was delivered in RLUSD, Ripple\u2019s U.S. dollar-backed <span>stablecoin<\/span>, supporting DonorsChoose and Teach For America programs tied to classroom materials, teacher stipends, tutoring, and financial literacy resources.<\/p>\n<p>The update focused on results from Ripple\u2019s earlier Teacher Appreciation Week commitment rather than a new funding announcement. DonorsChoose received $15 million, helping fund 48,108 classroom projects across all 50 states. Teachers requested books, science kits, technology, and supplies directly through the platform. Ripple said 86% of funded projects served schools where more than half of the students come from low-income households. U.S.-based employees also directed $25,700 to 378 projects at 336 schools. The <span>crypto<\/span> firm stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe majority of the $25 million was delivered in RLUSD, Ripple\u2019s U.S. dollar-backed <span>stablecoin<\/span>, making this one of the largest <span>stablecoin<\/span> grants to nonprofits in history, and a practical demonstration that crypto-native philanthropy can operate at real scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Recognition followed the classroom funding. The DonorsChoose partnership won the Community Voice Award and a Bronze award for Best Education Initiative at the Anthem Awards. It was also nominated for Best Education Initiative at the Halo Awards, extending visibility for Ripple\u2019s stablecoin-backed education grant beyond the digital asset industry.<\/p>\n<h2>Teach For America Expands the Education Rollout<\/h2>\n<p>Through Teach For America, Ripple\u2019s $10 million commitment supported under-resourced schools during the first year. The funding helped provide direct stipends for 2,300 new teachers entering classrooms in the fall. Those first-year teachers reached 141,600 students, while TFA\u2019s broader corps delivered financial literacy resources to 270,600 students.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crypto<\/a> education also became part of the broader rollout. Ripple said the partnership launched a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-blockchain\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blockchain<\/a> Bootcamp series at U.S. high schools, giving students hands-on exposure to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cryptocurrency<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-blockchain\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blockchain<\/a> concepts. TFA\u2019s Ignite tutoring program reached 6,538 students across fall and spring cohorts. Ripple stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhat has changed is what we know is possible. Teachers supported, bootcamps launched, students learning, the result of two organizations that knew exactly how to put resources to work, and a team at Ripple that believed education is one of the most powerful investments we can make.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A year after the original Teacher Appreciation Week commitment, Ripple framed the results around execution rather than a new pledge. The company said it was proud of what the first year made possible, citing supported teachers, funded classroom projects, and student programs delivered through nonprofit partners.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/ripples-rlusd-grant-results-show-how-25m-reached-us-classrooms\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Ripple delivered most education funding in RLUSD, supporting classrooms through major nonprofit partnerships.
