At DonorsChoose, we believe that every student deserves access to a great education, regardless of their community. Since our founding in 2000, we have helped more than 5 million people contribute $1 billion toward classroom projects, ranging from essential art supplies to identity-affirming books. We are deeply committed to fighting systemic inequity by directing the majority of our support to schools that have been historically underfunded. Our team is a diverse, passionate group working from across the country, and we are proud to be recognized as an innovative leader in the nonprofit space.
