Why does DonorsChoose.org offer only certain vendors, or change the list from time to time?
DonorsChoose.org aims to provide a wide variety of options for teachers. At the same time, we strive to ensure good service and operational scalability. To that end, vendors must meet rigorous criteria to be part of our system.
These criteria include a company's efficiency in resolving order problems, pricing, electronic transaction capabilities, and other criteria established to ensure your funded projects are fulfilled efficiently.
We continuously evaluate our vendors to ensure that teachers will have a positive experience, so the vendor list may occasionally change. If you're having trouble finding an item, check the complete list of our vendors and what they offer, or try our guide to commonly requested items.
