Will My Project Get Funded?

We will do our best! While funding isn’t guaranteed because we leave it up to our donors to decide which projects they want to support, nearly 80% of projects requesting under $400 in materials are funded within a few months on DonorsChoose.org.

To boost your chances of being funded, be sure to:

  1. Choose materials that total between $100 and $400. (The lower the project cost, the greater chance it will be funded!)
  2. Submit projects as soon as possible to prepare for lessons later in the year.
  3. Submit more than one project at a time.
