About DonorsChoose

DonorsChoose is the nonprofit classroom funding site for public school teachers and everyone who cares for our nation’s kids. For a generation of students, the DonorsChoose community has helped level the playing field with one simple idea: If teachers can share what their students need, people will jump in and help.
