Teach-A-Thon

The Education Fund's Teach-A-Thon is an opportunity to have a business professional volunteer teach a lesson to your students.

Our business professional volunteers will research and teach a STEM, STEAM, or Financial Literacy lesson to your class, with the objective of your students applying the newly learned knowledge to real-world scenarios. 

In return, the business professional volunteer will discover why our public schools need support from community members. Plus, the volunteers are committed to telling their colleagues and friends about their experience as a "teacher for a day" to raise funds for the participating classrooms.

50% of funds raised will be divided evenly among participating classrooms and 50% will help fund The Education Fund’s support of teachers and our public schools. Apply now and you can help your classroom and The Education Fund!

PLEASE NOTE: As of 2025-2026 School Year, paper checks will be discontinued, and ACH enrollment (W9, direct deposit form, and bank letter or voided check) will be required for all Education Fund payments made to teachers. Therefore, if we do not receive your ACH information when requested, we will not be able to provide any funding.
