BURLINGTON, Mass., Aug. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Aura, a unified threat protection platform committed to making digital security simple for everyone, announced today its partnership with DonorsChoose.org, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to ensuring students in every community have the tools and experiences they need for a great education. DonorsChoose.org is a website where public school teachers from across the country request much-needed materials and experiences for their students, and donors can choose the individual classroom projects they want to support.

To inaugurate the partnership and introduce Aura's new corporate social responsibility and giving program focused on education, every Aura employee is being provided a $50 gift card to support a back-to-school initiative of their choosing. Funding local classroom projects will empower Aura employees to select projects in their communities that will enable students to start the academic year properly.

"For almost 20 years, DonorsChoose.org has been at the forefront of helping teachers and students all over the U.S. bring their classroom dreams to life," said Aura founder and CEO Hari Ravichandran. "Aura is proud to partner with DonorsChoose.org to leverage technology in a way that meaningfully impacts classrooms as students and teachers get ready for the academic year."

"We're thrilled that Aura is empowering every employee to support a classroom this back-to-school season," said Janelle Lin, senior vice president, partnerships and business development, DonorsChoose.org. "Students and teachers across the country will start the school year with resources they need to thrive, thanks to this gift."
