DonorsChoose
Description
DonorsChoose.org is a charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need.
Here’s how it works: public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project requests on DonorsChoose.org. Requests range from pencils for a poetry writing unit, to violins for a school recital, to microscope slides for a biology class.
Then, you can browse project requests and give any amount to the one that inspires you. Once a project reaches its funding goal, we deliver the materials to the school.
You’ll get photos of your project taking place, a thank-you letter from the teacher, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. If you give over $100, you’ll also receive hand-written thank-you letters from the students.
At DonorsChoose.org, you can give as little as $1 and get the same level of choice, transparency, and feedback that is traditionally reserved for someone who gives millions. We call it citizen philanthropy.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| DonorsChoose | Free | Listing a project on DonorsChoose is free. When a student project is screened, we first verify that the materials are priced correctly. In addition to the materials cost, we add shipping, fulfillment and labor costs, and credit card processing fees. A separately listed and optional donation is also included in the final project price tag. While you are not obligated to include this optional donation, we ask you to consider doing so to support our work and operations. |
