What is an “Other” Funding Opportunity?

An “other” funding opportunity is an offer from a corporation or foundation that doesn’t fall into our usual categories of Double Your Impact or Tipping Point. The funder often offers to put a certain amount of money (e.g. $100) towards selected projects that meet very specific criteria.

Please read these offers carefully as they vary significantly. There is no special application process for this funding, so just submit your project at DonorsChoose.org for consideration. If selected, funding will be applied directly to your project!

A list of current funding opportunities is distributed to all registered teachers monthly via our teacher newsletter. You can also view these opportunities via our teacher homepage, under “Announcements.”
