Join us in celebrating the unsung heroes of rural education during our Teachers Are Heroes campaign! From now through April 30, you have the chance to show up for educators - Honor a teacher with your gift today!

Superman has nothing on teachers. For the past decade, Rural Schools Collaborative has championed rural educators—the unsung heroes shaping the future of their communities. Through classroom grants, intentionally-rural teacher preparation, and activated partnerships across the country, we’re working tirelessly to ensure educators have what they need.

Here’s how you can help: From now through April 30, we're calling all partners, friends, teachers, and advocates to come together and honor exceptional teachers. Whether it's a mentor who inspired you, a teacher who believed in you, or someone who goes above and beyond to support their students, now is the time to show your appreciation.

As we celebrate RSC’s 10 year anniversary, we’re setting the biggest goal yet—$10k for 10 Years!

Why $10,000 for 10 Years? Because every dollar makes a difference. By the end of 2025, RSC’s network will support $2 million out for rural education - And we’re just getting started.

Honor Your Rural Teacher Hero Today!

We invite you to join RSC and participate in the Teachers Are Heroes giving campaign to show your support for rural teachers and help us reach our goal of $10,000. Be a Hero's Hero: Donate Now!

Background is a collage of line drawings associated to teaching: pencils, pens, books, notebooks, scissors and backpacks.

We hope you will join the Teachers Are Heroes campaign on social media and tag us, as well as our tag: #TeachersAreHeroes to honor and share stories about educators who have impacted you!

Here's how you can get involved:

Donate: Make a contribution in honor of a teacher who has impacted you. Your donation will directly support our efforts to empower rural educators and strengthen rural communities.

Share Your Story: Take the opportunity to share your personal story about a teacher who has made a difference in your life. Your words have the power to inspire others!

Spread the Word: Help us spread the word about the Teachers Are Heroes campaign! Share on social media, and this campaign page, tell your friends and family, and encourage others to join us in celebrating rural teachers.

Whether you give $5 or $500, teachers need your support. Not only will you be able to publicly honor an educator (come on, shout it from the rooftops!), but every gift to the #TeachersAreHeroes campaign also means:

Providing classroom grants for innovative rural teaching projects.
Supporting the next generation of rural educators through teacher pathway programs.
Elevating and celebrating rural teachers' impact in their communities.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of rural educators and the communities they serve. Join us as we celebrate, donate, and appreciate the heroes of rural education!
