Education

This August, we’re shining a light on the critical need for quality education worldwide. According to UNESCO, 251 million children and youth still lack access to schooling with insufficient funding remaining one of the biggest barriers to progress.

At Deed, we invite you to join us in championing education—both within your organization and in your local communities. Through Deed, you can easily donate to PTO/PTA organizations and any public school across the United States. Globally, many primary, secondary, and higher education institutions are recognized charities and can also receive support through Deed.

We encourage you to leverage these resources to launch employee engagement campaigns centered on education, empowering your teams to help open doors for learners everywhere.
