PowerUP Jax is a project run by the Jacksonville Public Education Fund, an independent nonprofit organization that advocates for high-quality public schools in Jacksonville, Florida. The website connects teachers in Duval County Public Schools with donors from the community to fund innovative classroom projects. Teachers post project ideas to the site, donors contribute funds with 100% going to the teacher, and once funded, teachers can order supplies online for the projects. The goal is to support teachers and students by showing the creativity in schools and allowing community members to directly aid education.
