Teachers do much more than deliver lesson plans. They inspire curiosity, build confidence, create meaningful learning experiences and shape the future leaders of our communities. During Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8), ASRC Federal proudly continues its partnership with DonorsChoose, a non-profit organization that has supported public school teachers from every corner of America by helping them get resources and tools to make their classrooms better places for students to learn.
At ASRC Federal, the spirit of giving back is deeply woven into our culture. Since 2021, employees have participated in the company’s DonorsChoose initiative that provides an opportunity to directly support classroom projects that resonate the most with them. School teachers often spend their own money to provide basic supplies, innovative learning tools and enriching experiences for their students. By stepping in to help bridge this gap, we aim to eliminate some of that burden and let educators focus on what they do best: teaching.
Our Impact By the Numbers

- $25,000 donated to classroom projects

These numbers represent hundreds of students across the U.S. who now have access to the tools and resources they need to succeed and thrive in their educational journeys. This program also makes a positive impact on classroom projects in remote villages on the North Slope of Alaska where ASRC Federal’s shareholders reside, such as Nuiqsut, Utqiaġvik, Wainwright and Anaktuvuk Pass.
