Subaru Loves Learning® Initiative Supports Over 1 Million Students in High-Needs Schools with Classroom Supply Funding Through AdoptAClassroom.org®

August 3, 2026

Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) today announced that in its sixth year as the largest corporate supporter of AdoptAClassroom.org®, the Subaru Loves Learning® initiative will have supported more than 1 million students nationwide. Together with more than 630 retailers, Subaru will provide teachers with funding to purchase essential classroom supplies and high-quality resources that support student success.

As the new school year approaches, affording basic classroom essentials remains a significant economic barrier for many families and educators alike. According to AdoptAClassroom.org, 93% of teachers have students whose families cannot afford school supplies, often prompting those educators to fill the gap themselves. The average teacher in the U.S. spends $895 of their own money each year on classroom materials, a figure that has risen nearly 50% since 2015. Through its commitment to being More Than a Car Company®, Subaru is helping ease that burden by supporting classrooms nationwide and ensuring students and educators have the resources they need for a successful start to the school year.
