FedEx supports Teach for America’s mission to help all children obtain a quality education.

At FedEx, we recognize the value of a high-performing organization committed to ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic diversity. We announced a $1 million donation to Teach for America to help support the organization’s goal to increase the diversity of their corps members. The recipient of national recognition by FORTUNE, BusinessWeek, Fast Company and Time, Teach For America is a national corps of top college graduates who commit two years to teach in urban and rural public schools.

 
A four-year grant will help support Teach for America’s plans to diversify the membership of its corps. By 2010, Teach For America aims to place an increasingly diverse corps of 7,500 talented teachers in 33 regions across the U.S. The growth plan calls for people of diversity to rise from 28 percent of the corps to at least 33 percent by 2010.
