TeacherFunder.com Launches First and Only Crowd-Funding Social Platform Specifically for Educators
LAS VEGAS, Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TeacherFunder.com (https://teacherfunder.com/) is a new online crowd-funding website uniquely designed for educators seeking additional funds for their projects. Educators can set up secure funding efforts to receive assistance from parents, students, organizations, charities or local businesses. TeacherFunder.com scheduled its search bar launch date for December 21st, with a subsequent official website launch date scheduled for January 15, 2019.
TeacherFunder.com offers a quick sign-up with an overall online process that is easy to navigate. Teachers create a profile, including a photo and biography, along with an explanation regarding the reason behind the crowdfunding efforts. Teachers can then use their profile pages to communicate with parents and students from their school, friends and coworkers, or the teachers' individual communities. This allows teachers to directly interact with the groups most likely to be sympathetic to the teacher's crowdfunding efforts.
TeacherFunder.com is free to join and allows teachers unfettered, free continual access to their crowd-funding efforts. Unlike most sites, TeacherFunder charges 0 percent platform fees, with only 3.9 percent plus $1 taken from each donation to pay for processing through TeacherFunder's merchants. After recouping these minimal operating costs, all other remaining funds go directly to the teachers.
Underpaid and often underappreciated by employers, teachers remain one of the most stalwart professions in the country. Despite frequent pleas for assistance, many educators still do not have the funding they need to carry out their plans, or to bring their most ambitious classroom ideas to fruition. Many teachers require a second job just to make ends meet in their own lives. Educators are often forced to crowdsource for funding.
"Teachers educate the foundation of our society: our youth. By empowering them to share their story, we believe that TeacherFunder.com can allow educators to do so much more. That's ultimately why we're here. We are dedicated to connecting donors with the teachers who need them most," said Paul Scruton.
