For local businesses and institutions
Sponsor a classroom
EconLearn’s interactive economics tools are free for students, always. Sponsorship pays for the classroom infrastructure around them at a participating local school, with public acknowledgement agreed in advance. It does not buy advertising inside student learning or classroom pages.
Sponsorship options
A thank-you on this public sponsor page, with the participating school's permission to name it.
Public sponsor-page acknowledgement and an aggregate semester impact summary. Any school-distributed acknowledgement is agreed with the school first.
Public acknowledgement of the supported program and an aggregate semester impact summary. Naming rights or use of a school's name require its agreement.
An agreed district program, public acknowledgement, and an aggregate semester impact report. Exclusivity, renewal rights, and district participation are not automatic; they require a separate agreement with the district and EconLearn.
The honest fine print
- Is this a donation?
- No. EconLearn is an independent company, so sponsorships are billed as services with a standard invoice, and a W-9 is available on request. We do not issue charitable receipts. The agreement sets out the classroom access funded and the public acknowledgement provided.
- What do students see?
- The same ad-free study tools. Sponsorship does not add advertising to classroom join pages, lessons, or student dashboards. Acknowledgement belongs on this public sponsor page or in community-facing materials agreed with the school. Sponsors do not receive student records or influence lessons or grades. Any impact report uses school-approved aggregate figures, not identifiable student results. The privacy policy describes the platform's normal account and analytics data handling.
- Why do banks and credit unions do this?
- Community financial-education sponsorship is an established category, and several institutions already sponsor classroom finance programs in South Bay schools. California's new personal-finance graduation requirement makes economics classrooms a timely place for that commitment. For regulated institutions, community engagement of this kind may also fit CRA activity, which your compliance team can evaluate.
- Which schools can be sponsored?
- A participating school using EconLearn, subject to its approval. The South Bay is where it started: EconLearn is built in Hermosa Beach and used in local classrooms. If you have a school in mind, tell us and we can discuss an introduction. Participation, student capacity, and recognition are confirmed before an agreement or invoice.
