Teacher FAQs

Who can use DonorsChoose.org?

We invite "front-line educators" at public schools in the United States to register teacher accounts with DonorsChoose.org. Such front-line educators include teachers, librarians, guidance counselors, school nurses and full-time teachers who also act as coaches. To register, you must work directly with students and teach full time.

We can't accept projects from principals, administrators, PTA members, teachers' assistants, student teachers, substitutes, part-time after-school teachers, or staff developers.

You can only write project requests that you will have a part in implementing, and we can't transfer funded materials from one teacher to another. For more information on who can submit a project, click here. For more information on the types of schools we serve, click here.
