Teacher FAQs

What is the Points and Benefits System and how does it work?

New teachers receive 3 points for registering. To post a project, you spend from 1 to 6 points, depending on the type of project. Each time a Project is funded, you can earn up to 3 points by:

1. Confirming you still want your materials ASAP.
2. Returning a thank-you package that is complete and compelling.
3. Returning the thank-you package by its due date.

A teacher can lose points by failing to fulfill his/her responsibilities as outlined above. Should your account fall below 0 points, you'll no longer be able to use DonorsChoose.org.
