- Ripple has donated $25 million in RLUSD to support U.S. teachers and students through DonorsChoose and Teach For America.
- The funds will provide classroom supplies, tutoring, and financial literacy programs to boost education and future job readiness.
In a powerful show of support for American educators, Ripple has donated $25 million—primarily in its own stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD)—to help improve classrooms and equip students for the future. The donation, announced during Teacher Appreciation Week, highlights Ripple’s ongoing commitment to education and innovation.
The funds will benefit two major education-focused nonprofits: DonorsChoose and Teach For America. These organizations provide vital classroom resources, teacher support, and student learning programs across the U.S. With this donation, Ripple aims to ease the burden on teachers who often pay for supplies out of pocket and to help students build the skills needed for success in the modern workforce.
“Our educators are under immense pressure, and it’s time the private sector stepped up,” said Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. “Education has always been a pillar of Ripple’s mission, and we hope this inspires others to give back as well.”

Building Skills and Bright Futures
The donation will be used to fund classroom materials, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) projects, and tutoring services. It will also support financial literacy initiatives for students and teachers alike—an area Ripple sees as critical for long-term economic empowerment.
At a time when many Americans are concerned about the state of public education—over 50% say schools are underfunded—Ripple’s crypto-powered gift could help bridge critical gaps.
By blending digital currency innovation with social impact, Ripple is setting a precedent for how blockchain companies can fuel change beyond the tech world. As classrooms prepare for a future shaped by technology and financial innovation, this $25 million boost could make a meaningful difference where it’s needed most.
