The Global Teacher Prize serves to underline the importance of educators and the fact that, throughout the world, their efforts deserve to be recognised and celebrated. It seeks to acknowledge the impacts of the very best teachers – not only on their students but on the communities around them. Inadequate education is a major factor behind the social, political, economic and health issues faced by the world today.

Invest In A Teacher gives you the chance to support great teachers delivering great projects that will transform the lives of children in every corner of the world.
For the first time, the Varkey Foundation, founder of the Global Teacher Prize, is offering a unique opportunity to stand behind the world's most inspiring teachers as they turn their passion projects into reality. Supporting their work today is an investment in tomorrow.
What makes Invest In A Teacher unique is who's on it: every project has been created by a Global Teacher Prize winner or finalist, hand-selected from among the best educators in the world. Through this platform, individuals, NGOs, academic institutions, and businesses can partner directly with these extraordinary teachers — funding real change for children in villages, towns, and cities across the planet.
When you give, you're not donating to an institution. You're backing a specific teacher, with a specific plan, to help a specific community of children. That's what makes this different from ordinary giving: you can see exactly whose work you're funding and exactly what it will do.
Why support these teachers?
The Varkey Foundation, which created the Global Teacher Prize, has built a network of 500 award-winning teachers across more than 80 countries. Their stories have reached millions and sparked conversations about the value of teaching everywhere from kitchen tables to parliaments.
But recognition isn't enough. These teachers have ideas; projects addressing mental health, food insecurity, the arts, environmental sustainability, and more - that are ready to scale beyond a single classroom to reach hundreds or thousands of children. What's missing is the funding to make that leap. That's where you come in.
The difference your donation makes
Teachers see what others miss: the obstacles a child is quietly carrying, the gift a child doesn't yet know they have, the support a community actually needs. A donation here funds that first-hand insight turned into action - not a general appeal, but a concrete project built by someone who understands the problem better than anyone.
Every donation, at any size, moves a specific project closer to reaching more children. Individuals, schools, NGOs, and businesses can all take part.
