Breaking Individual Giving Records in 2026

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has made an individual gift to Teach Access this year. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve broken our previous annual record and so far this year have raised $74,000 in individual donations! We’d love your help in continuing to smash this record and ask if you’d be willing to help us get to $100,000 by the end of this year. We’ve got two months and $26,000 to go!

One-Time or Monthly Gift: Help prepare the next generation to build technology that is accessible from the start.

2026 Impact- Surpassing 2 Million Students

It’s hard to believe we are approaching the end of 2026. We want to share our 2026 End-of-Year Report, which highlights the progress we’ve made this year in reaching 2 million students and closing the Accessible Technology Skills Gap, expanding accessibility education, and preparing the next generation of technology professionals to build a more inclusive digital future.

In Case You Missed it

We are resharing our 2026 Stories of Growth and Impact Report as we continue celebrating Teach Access’s 10-year journey, the community that has helped make our work possible, and the impact we’ve had on accessibility education and the future workforce.

Cover titled “teach access: 2026 Stories of Impact & Growth,” featuring a teal-and-white illustration of connected people, networks, and a central power symbol, labeled “10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION.”

Looking Ahead

We launched a $1.5 million for the next 1.5 million students, and have raised $985,000! We are offering more opportunities for organizations to support this momentum in 2027, while providing meaningful visibility and engagement with the educators, students, and industry leaders working to close the Accessible Technology Skills Gap. Through our corporate sponsorships, partners can demonstrate their commitment to building a more accessible digital future while helping prepare the next generation of professionals with the skills to make it happen. Pledge your 2027 support and push us over the finish line before December 31.
