Ripple commits $25 million in RLUSD to support American educators

Ripple announced on May 5 an educational initiative worth $25 million in collaboration with DonorsChoose and Teach For America, promising support for American classrooms and teachers through the first-ever deployment of its stablecoin. The commitment, revealed during Teacher Appreciation Week, will be distributed primarily in Ripple USD (RLUSD), marking a new step in stablecoin-based philanthropic funding. Ripple stated:

The funding aims to address the widespread dissatisfaction with the American education system, which remains under pressure due to limited resources and persistent inequalities. A 2024 Gallup survey found that 55% of Americans are dissatisfied with the state of K-12 education. Ripple's initiative aims to directly assist students and teachers by supporting classroom projects, expanding tutoring programs through Teach For America, and launching new initiatives in STEM and financial education across the country.
