DonorsChoose.org

Founded in 2000 by a Bronx history teacher, DonorsChoose.org has raised $695,942,187 for America’s classrooms. Teachers come to DonorsChoose.org to request the materials and experiences they need most for their classrooms, and donors give to the projects that inspire them. To date, 3,160,795 people and partners have funded 1,173,442projects on the site, reaching 28,120,002 students and making DonorsChoose.org the leading platform for supporting U.S. public schools. DonorsChoose.org is the only crowdfunding platform that vets each request, delivers materials directly to schools, and captures the impact of every funded project with photos, thank yous and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. In 2014, DonorsChoose.org made the top 10 of Fast Company’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies, the first time a charity has received such recognition. For more information, visit www.donorschoose.org.
