Since January, Chevron Corporation has been matching Math and Science Projects across California and has helped more than 78,000 students and counting! Last week, all Chevron employees in California began supporting classrooms as well. Over the next two months, Chevron employees will use DonorsChoose.org GivingCards to fund new microscopes, markers, trips to local museums and more.

Under the initiative, Chevron is expanding its partnerships with nonprofits focused on supporting underserved communities, including relationships with more than 20 new nonprofit partners providing programs for education, entrepreneurs and job training.

I am particularly dismayed that this program is only available to public schools. As a parochial school, we operate with a extremely lower per student spending without tapping into the state funding. It is important to all of us that these organizations support ALL education of students.

Hi SM – thanks for visiting, and for your comment. We certainly understand that there is great need among private & parochial schools as well. Having only recently expanded to support each of the 100,000 public schools across the country – additional expansion isn’t really on the horizon right now. But perhaps someday! I suggest checking out http://www.adoptaclassroom.org, as they support parochial as well as public schools. Thanks again.
