SAN FRANCISCO, July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The BizWorld Foundation and Invested.in today announced their partnership to launch a fully customized fundraising portal for educators to raise the funds they need to purchase BizWorld educational programs for their classrooms in order to teach business, entrepreneurship, and finance to elementary and middle school students.  

The BizWorld Fundraising Portal will utilize Invested.in's versatile crowdfunding platform, providing teachers with a simple and easy way to create, promote, and manage their online fundraising campaigns.  Once educators create their personalized fundraising campaign page, Invested.in's platform equips them and their students with all of the tools necessary to share their campaign amongst their friends and family, online.

"Invested.in is a great tool for teachers to fundraise for both BizWorld programs or an initiative of their choosing," Catherine Hutton Markwell, CEO of The BizWorld Foundation explains. "This puts funding and control back into the hands of teachers all across the country."

The BizWorld Fundraising Portal will also include an easy way for parents and donors to browse and find local educators and classrooms to support.  The new BizWorld Foundation web portal is expected to launch at the end of August 2010.  In the meantime, please visit their website at www.bizworld.org to donate in support of providing innovative curricula and training for teachers.  

"BizWorld's fun, hands-on curriculum teaches an invaluable lesson to the students lucky enough to experience it," said Alon Goren, President of Invested.in.  "Not only does our fundraising platform make it easy for teachers to purchase these innovative programs with the support of their communities, it builds strong relationships within them as well."
