DonorsChoose
Support a classroom. Build a future.
DonorsChoose is a nonprofit crowdfunding platform that connects public school teachers in high-need communities with donors who want to fund classroom supplies and materials. Teachers post requests for books, pencils, technology, and other essentials, and donors of any amount can contribute directly to those projects. The platform provides full transparency on how donations are spent and has earned top ratings from major charity watchdogs.
Teachers post project requests for specific classroom needs, and donors browse and fund those projects directly through the platform.
