Optional Donation to Support DonorsChoose.org

We encourage donors to dedicate 15% of their donations to support the work we do to engage teachers, build awareness, and generally run DonorsChoose.org. Each donor can easily opt out if they prefer not to support outreach and overhead costs.

Our efficiency has earned DonorsChoose.org the top 4-star rating from Charity Navigator. We give donors transparency and control when it comes to supporting our lean operation.

Supporting teachers and students since 2000

DonorsChoose makes it easy for anyone to help a classroom in need. Public school teachers from every corner of America create classroom project requests, and you can give any amount to the project that inspires you.

We've earned the highest possible ratings from Better Business Bureau, Charity Watch, Charity Navigator, and Guidestar.
