ClassJump Requires Your Support
posted: December 6, 2013
Please read the amazing follow-up to this article by CLICKING HERE!
If you like what ClassJump offers, is it worth a dollar?
Every quarter, this little non-profit has to raise $1,950 to pay for our wonderful server.Some of you reading this in the United States will be aware of the problems encountered by HealthCare.gov. When they attempted to launch their site, the walls came crashing down because...well mostly because they couldn't handle the number of people trying to access it at one time.
ClassJump handles around 30,000 visitors every hour, sometimes a lot more. We do it for $7,800 per year. I'm not exactly sure how many hundreds of millions of dollars have been dropped into HealthCare.gov so far for a site that (as of this writing) still doesn't work as expected.
I feel their pain, I just don't feel their budget. Handling huge numbers of people who are all eagerly gobbling up documents and data, it's not an easy thing to pull off.
Doing it for $7,800 a year, well that might be unheard of...
Some Quick Math
There are just over 40,000 teachers here as of this writing. At $7,800 per year, that's about what? 20 cents per year per teacher? Pretty close. If ClassJump is worth 20 cents to you, we'd be happy to receive it and promise to spend every penny wisely.The cry for help!
We're short this quarter!!!! As of this post, ClassJump has received $1,021.00 for our Fall Fundraiser. Thanks so much to everyone who has helped. Right now, we're $929.00 short of paying our server bill when it will shortly land on my desk and stare up at me with a grim determination to be paid in full.We count on you!
As you may be aware, there are two guys (count em) that do this. Neither of us has ever made a single dollar from our beloved non-profit and we have no intention of ever doing so. We do this for educators and we are thrilled to do so.Please consider a donation by clicking here.
Your donation is 100% tax deductible. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity - and very proud to be so.
Many thanks to everyone,
Robert Zimmerman

Dear Sir/madam
I understand your problem , even though I am not in a position to help you at this time. I pray that a philanthropist would help you to serve the people like us. My students are really THRILLED about this new experience.
I will try my best to send at least a few repees the moment I can spare some.
Respectfully yours

You're worth more than 20 cents to me!! My school does not provide teacher pages or a website to have a page on, so I am thrilled to be able to use your website for free. Hope my donation makes a difference!
Mrs. Lucinda Barfield December 7, 2013
I,too work on a voluntary basis for a 501(c) organization. I am retired so my income is very fixed; however, on Wednesday 11 Dec 2013 I pledge to donate at least $10 to ClassJump.com. You provide an invaluable service to my students and deserve much more, but that is all I can spare.

Robert,
I started using ClassJump a few weeks ago, and I truly like its functionality. I have made my donation this morning.

Not one teacher who use this site can say they don't have 20 cents to give. In addition every student. I know I can forgo a latte,a breakfast bar,eggMcMuffin,etc.. this week to give you $5.00. I hope it helps. I will also let my friends and student know. Maybe others can give up something for a week to give it to this awesome website for education.
ClassJump Reply to Mr. Middleton:
Mr. Middleton,
That latte is being turned into bandwidth right now! Thanks so much!

Connie Brownell December 9, 2013
Hi, Thank you for reminding everyone that this is a not for profit venture (at this point). It is unbelievable to me that a teacher in Canada or the United States wouldn't be able to send at least $10 for this service.
You will get my annual cheque for $20 before Christmas. Thanks for all your hard work.

I too will send a donation. This site has been very valuable for me and my students and I will do what ever it takes to assist.
Lee Shiver December 9, 2013
We very much want to contribute, but we can't get anyone from ClassJump to contact us about setting up a school page for which we're willing to pay! We've tried to do this through the ClassJump home page for months with no luck.
ClassJump Reply to Lee Shiver:
Lee,
Sorry there has been no reply regarding this. Regret to say that ClassJump has discontinued the school web site feature. The few remaining school web sites that are here will be phased out after the first of the year.
This feature never really worked very well and we just didn't have the financial resources (time and energy) to bring it up to speed.
All schools will still display teachers on your home page of course, but the bigger features we once offered are put away in long-term storage.

Anyway y'all might start to accept PayPal? I'm ready to donate!!!
ClassJump Reply to Donna Denny:
Donna,
Thanks! You may not be aware of this but PayPal places a very heafty transfer fee on each funds transfer. So, for example, you send $10.00 of your hard-earned money and we receive $9.00. ClassJump is here to make every single penny you might be able to contribute go as far as it can. Having a BIG money-gobbling machine between you and us, it just doesn't make my day.
SO - consider using your regular bank/atm/debit card perhaps? It will certainly work and we will get 99.9% of that to put to immediate work!
Best,
Robert Zimmerman

Hi,
I teach in a very tech forward district and we have been provided a web page through school spring for the last few years. I have been using classjump now for many years and I contribute regularly. The site is more reliable, easier to load things on and a friendlier interface for students than others. I will be sending another $10 soon.
Thanks
Mike

I love ClassJump! I do not have any textbooks for my Precalculus classes, so I use ClassJump to provide my students with copies of all notes, practice worksheets, solutions to problems, internet links, etc. This saves me reams of paper (I have 138 students) and the students have access to all past and current assignments. ClassJump is a real asset to my classes.
Just sent my donation - wish it could have been for more.

My district eliminated the teacher website resource that we had been using for quite some time and I extensively researched many free teacher websites. I chose Classjump and just made my donation. Keep up the great work and have a happy and safe holiday season :)
Mrs. Eva Kirk January 3, 2014
Thanks so much for Classjump! This is my first year to use this as my class web page, and I love the ease of creating and sustaining this site! One of the great aspects of teaching is success in collaboration! This certainly applies here, and I hope my small contribution will help meet your financial need!
Nancy Rook January 5, 2014
I LOVE this site!!!!!
I am willing to give - just not online.
If you have a physical address I can mail a donation that would be my way to give.
Thank you for all you give us teachers!

I promise to you that our online donation system is more secure than it even needs to be! It's so secure, I hardly even understand it! It might even be more secure that an envelope with a postage stamp! That said, I love mail! Especially mail with written notes. I often get mail from students and I enjoy those letters the most!

Forget the 20 cents. I pay $20 each year and do it gladly. I think everyone that uses the site could donate the same $1.60 per month. I cannot tell you how much easier you make my job because of what your site offers. My university offers D2L. I prefer your site for communicating to my students. You guys rock.
ClassJump Reply to Chris Putman, Assistant Professor of Media:
Chris,
Thanks so much!
We're here for you, because YOU are the one that ROCKS. Appreciate the rocking accolade, but we see the teachers here as rock stars, not us. We just try to help teachers ROCK, wherever they may be.

ClassJump, you provide an invaluable service to me and my homeschooled students. The Algebra class I teach only meets once per week. This website allows me to communicate so easily with my students...and in a way they prefer! Our parents love it, too!
You'll see my donation shortly!

I love classjump. It has helped me to stay in touch with other teachers and students that I would otherwise have a hard time reaching. I would love to send a donation, but i can't do so until the end of January 2014. I hope it isn't too late.
Lorraine Brown January 6, 2014
Thank you for your valuable service. It is one of the only ways to communicate to my over 100 parents. I will certainly donate what I can.
Melissa Stringfield January 8, 2014
I love Class Jump. It has really helped me provide data for my student's parents to access. I will be happy to donate in order to help sustain this wonderful resource.
Lee Strickland January 19, 2014
Having Classjump this year gave me an amazing piece of support to deliver academic support directly to students and parents in real time. Donating another $10 to Classjump is absolutely worth the investment to me.
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!

Mr. Jeffrey Saunders January 30, 2014
I am now back in the classroom due to RIF and budget cuts. I wish school districts will look at more innovative ways to save a dollar and sites like Classjump is beneficial. Therefore on my first paycheck, I will donate my part. Thank You for all what you do at Classjump.com
Mrs Aline Irizarry February 2, 2014
Mr. Saunders,
We are getting the Race to the Top Money this Friday's paycheck and I will send my donation Friday.
Aline Irizarry
P.S. With so many teachers using your website, you should not be short. I am sorry that I did not donate sooner. I guess as teachers we are sometimes oversome with work and bills, in my case - but that is not an excuse. Your website keeps my students and I connected and that s priceless. I am putting my reminder into phone now!
A BIG THANK YOU. Teachers, let's do this!!!!!

I can't send in my donation until after the 15th, but I will send it then and make it at least an annual thing. This site is amazing and getting better all the time. It helps so very much with keeping in touch with both parents and students.
Thank you for all that you do. I might seem sometimes that you are working in a vacuum, but we're out here--really--and we love what you're doing.
