Cox Enterprises to Match Dollar-for-Dollar Contributions Empowering Students with STEAM Education

05/06/2025

ATLANTA - May 6, 2025 — Cox Enterprises is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week by partnering with education nonprofit DonorsChoose and offering up to $100,000 in matching donations. Following a successful match campaign last year, Cox is now doubling down and providing a 2X match on donations to eligible Engineering & Technology STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) classroom projects and experiences for public schools nationwide. The 2025 match campaign reinforces Cox’s commitment to expanding access to high-quality education and nurturing future STEAM leaders.

“Investing in education is one of the most powerful ways we can shape a better future,” said Jennifer Bronner, director of Community Impact at Cox Enterprises. “Our continued partnership with DonorsChoose helps provide teachers in under-resourced schools with tools and experiences that spark curiosity, creativity and confidence in the classroom.”

The dollar-for-dollar match for teachers who have never had a DonorsChoose project funded furthers Cox’s 34 by 34 social impact goal to empower 34 million people to live more prosperous lives by 2034. Since its launch in 2020, the 34 by 34 initiative has positively impacted more than 11.6 million people — from providing access to technology to offering employment skills and access to lifelong education, environmental sustainability and more. In 2024 alone, Cox empowered nearly 3 million new individuals, including its 2024 DonorsChoose match campaign that funded over 500 classroom projects, reaching more than 6,200 students.

This year, Cox will continue to support classrooms across the country where a majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

“Cox’s generosity allows us to reach even more teachers doing incredible work with limited resources,” said Adam Disler, senior vice president of partnerships for DonorsChoose. “This matching campaign ensures that more students have the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning and build critical skills for the future.”
