Throughout the year, Faculty Insurance and local community leaders will be sponsoring and promoting funding efforts to help our educators meet their goals and dreams within their classrooms. Teachers and their projects will be selected throughout the year, and Faculty Insurance will launch community campaigns to help fund their projects. We want to let them know they are not alone and there is a community which stands behind them ready to help.

Our Mission
The Classroom Contributor mission is simple. Our teachers work hard, and most schools struggle to fund special programs that make the classroom experience special, so Faculty Insurance wants to help by funding projects that will stimulate creativity, educate on entrepreneurship, and teach financial literacy.
We’re all about finding ways to give back to the community, and are focused on doing that with our teachers. Our program is set up to support local businesses who help fund our Classroom Contributor initiatives, with the teachers and their students at the heart of the program.
How The Program Works:
It’s easy to apply. Just click on the button that applies to you, Teacher OR Business Partner, and fill out your information. Once your application is submitted, our team will review it and come back to you with an update.
The number of projects we can support will be determined by the local business support that comes in, so let’s get the word out about Classroom Contributor so that we can help make a difference in our classrooms.
