DonorsChoose makes it easy for anyone to help a teacher in need, moving us closer to a nation where students in every community have the tools and experiences they need for an excellent education.
About the Organization
Since 2000, more than 6 million people and partners have contributed $1.5 billion to support 3 million teacher requests for classroom resources and experiences. Projects range from art supplies to build the set for a school musical, books and puzzles affirming students' identities, and bird seed for an at-home science project. We proudly serve all US public schools, public charter schools, and Head Start centers, and we combat systemic inequity by driving a majority of donations to schools that have been historically underfunded due to economic and racial inequity.
GOOD Magazine and the Nonprofit Times have recognized DonorsChoose as a best place to work.

Our dedicated team works from across the United States to bring classroom dreams to life.
