Ripple has announced a $25 million donation to two major U.S. education nonprofits DonorsChoose and Teach For America.The annual donation distribution will support educational initiatives for classrooms as well as teachers alongside student learning programs across Australia throughout the year. The initiative begins during Teacher Appreciation Week.
A significant portion of the contribution will be made in Ripple’s stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD). The company states that using RLUSD enables faster and more efficient fund transfers. This approach marks one of the largest education-focused nonprofit contributions using a cryptocurrency-based stablecoin in the U.S.
Focus on direct teacher and student support
Ripple is working with DonorsChoose to finance thousands of classroom requests made directly by teachers. The support will go toward supplies, technology, and essential resources. Additionally, funds allocated to Teach For America will be used to grow its Ignite tutoring program, enhance the Reinvention Lab’s learning model pilot projects, and provide training support for new educators.
According to Ripple, this donation builds on its long-term philanthropic goals. Since 2018, the company has distributed over $200 million globally to nonprofits and social programs. Ripple’s ongoing mission includes backing education and expanding access to learning opportunities. The firm also promotes employee engagement through volunteering and internal giving campaigns.
The use of stablecoins in charitable giving continues to rise. Recent data suggests that stablecoins account for more than half of all blockchain-based transaction volume. Ripple’s latest move reflects the growing trend of integrating digital assets into traditional charitable frameworks.
