“Our steadfast commitment to serving educators and students
guides our Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) philosophy,”

proud to be recognized with a Tech Cares Award for the work we do
to ensure that students are able to realize their full potential,
in their own way.”

Since 2021, PowerSchool has instituted several initiatives as

multi-initiative fund, designed to tackle critical issues in the
education ecosystem, including the national teacher shortage, the
diversity gap, and access to education technology and resources.
Additionally, as part of this fund, PowerSchool partnered with
Robert F. Smith and Vista Equity to provide a $1.3 million total
donation to DonorsChoose to address classroom equity challenges in
predominantly Black schools across ten states.
- Volunteer Impact Program: A multi-program initiative
