How it Works
Teachers register at www.DonorsChoose.org/teacher and submit project requests for the resources they need to bring classroom projects to life.
Projects are posted to DonorsChoose.org, and individuals donate to the projects they find most compelling. When a project is fully funded, DonorsChoose.org ships the resources directly to the teacher’s classroom.
Teachers and students use their materials and, as thanks, provide letters, student notes and pictures to DonorsChoose.org. DonorsChoose.org forwards these “thank you packages” to the projects’ donors so that they can see the impact of their gifts.
Who is Eligible?
All full-time, front-line educators at public schools (teachers, librarians, guidance counselors and school nurses) who spend at least 75% of their time working with students are eligible to request materials at DonorsChoose.org. At this time, administrators, staff developers and teachers’ aides cannot request materials at DonorsChoose.org.
