After creating AdoptAClassroom.org, Jamie Rosenberg discovered a unique insight – getting funding to teachers and schools, and tracking it is much harder than it should be. Teachers don’t have the time to manage cash, checks, receipts and forms. School district and school administrators, education foundations, and PTAs spend a ridiculous amount of time reconciling paperwork and receipts even for the smallest of transactions, and stress about the audit each year.The understanding and obsession with solving this problem is what makes us tick. We know that if we can simplify the incredibly frustrating process of solving for classroom needs, our students will be smarter, and administrators and teachers will all be happier.OUR PURPOSETo simplify how organizations empower their employees with spending autonomy in order to improve outcomes, foster a culture of trust and minimize fraud.OUR VISIONTo be the leading financial technology platform for discretionary spend management in the U.S.
