DonorsChoose is the most accessible classroom funding platform in the U.S., allowing any PreK-12 public school teacher to post a project and receive direct funding from individual donors. Colorado teachers can get materials funded typically within weeks.
What This Grant Funds
Teachers post specific supply requests - from coding kits to robotics materials to learning platforms - and donors fund them directly. Projects typically range from $200 to $2,000. STEM and technology projects are among the most popular with donors.
Who Can Apply
Any verified PreK-12 public school teacher in the U.S. can create a project. Private and charter schools have limited eligibility. The teacher describes the project, lists needed materials, and sets a funding goal.
How to Apply
Create an account at DonorsChoose.org, verify your school and classroom, and post a project with a clear description of what students will do and what materials are needed. Share your project link on social media and with your school community to accelerate funding.
