DonorsChoose.org engages the public in public schools by giving people a simple, accountable, and personal way to address educational inequity. Teachers at half of all the public schools in America have posted classroom project requests on our site. Over 1.7 million people have funded classroom resources, field trips, and experiences for more than 14 million students from low-income communities.
