DonorsChoose: Support a classroom. Build a future.
DonorsChoose connects teachers in high-need communities with donors who want to help.
DonorsChoose.org is a United States-based nonprofit organization that allows individuals to donate directly to public school classroom projects. Founded in 2000 by a high school teacher in the Bronx, Charles Best, the platform enables public school teachers from across the country to request much-needed materials and experiences for their students. Donors can browse project requests and give any amount to the one that inspires them. Once a project reaches its funding goal, DonorsChoose.org delivers the materials to the school. The organization aims to address the inequality in public school funding and to foster a sense of community and shared responsibility for public education.
