How projects get funded

70% of projects on DonorsChoose.org are funded. Scroll down to see success stories from teachers and hear from donors who've just supported a classroom.

The website will walk you through the process to select materials for your students and provide the information that inspires donors to give.

Your project is most likely to be funded if you:

  • Give it a great title
  • Keep the cost to less than $400
  • Speak from the heart when you describe your project
  • Check your project essay for spelling and grammar.
