of Fuel Your School

From 2010‐2019, Chevron rallied the public to help thousands of teachers get classroom resources to help students thrive through Fuel Your School. To celebrate the conclusion of this decade-long campaign, we highlighted 10 of our favorite learnings from this partnership.

In all, Fuel Your School was one of the most impactful and longest-running campaigns in DonorsChoose history, and we're proud to partner with Chevron in new ways to unlock learning opportunities. We can't wait to see what else Chevron helps teachers and students accomplish!

First-time dreams really do come true

23,000 teachers
had their very first DonorsChoose project funded through Fuel Your School.

1 in 15 public schools

"We're grateful to partner with Chevron Fuel Your School, whose support has given new learning opportunities to students at thousands of schools across the country."

Teachers requested great reads

Nearly 400,000 books have been funded through Fuel Your School. Over the past decade, Wonder, Esperanza Rising, and The Outsiders have been the most popular!

The impact of Fuel Your School is intergenerational

Teaching runs in the Jones family, and so does Fuel Your School funding! Mother-daughter teaching duo Melinda and Suzanne have both received resources through FYS.

Great costumes are always a showstopper

Mrs. Smith's class was one of
5,000 classrooms
that received resources for music and the arts. When her students saw the new costumes for their mermaid musical, "their eyes light up with excitement."

When students have the right resources, the possibilities are endless

Fuel Your School has given more than
1.6 million students
new learning opportunities. From math to music, preschool to graduation, students thrive when given the right tools.

Teachers have ingenious plans to unlock a love of STEM in their students

Chevron has funded more than
250 Makerspace projects,
helping teachers and students engineer their way into the future.

Chevron's generosity knows no bounds!

“The best part is knowing this program excites students and encourages them to learn, empowers teachers and makes our communities stronger."

Andy Walz, President of America's Products, Chevron

Teachers have a relentless drive to give the most to students

Since 2010, more than
34,500 teachers
stepped up to get resources their students need to thrive.

In all, Fuel Your School has been one of the most impactful campaigns in the 20-year history of DonorsChoose, and we're proud to partner with Chevron to unlock learning opportunities for students. We can't wait to see what else Chevron helps teachers and students accomplish this year!
