Accountable & Efficient

Exclusively serving U.S. public schools, we’re committed to protecting students, teachers, and administrators. Over the last 19 years, we’ve set in place measures to verify every teacher, school, item, and shipment. Here’s how we do it.

Only teachers at verified schools post projects on our site, specifying the exact items their classrooms need.

We vet every single project that teachers post, verifying the value of those items and making sure student privacy is protected.

Foundations, corporate partners, and individual donors identify projects they’d like to support and help fund them.

Once a project has been funded, we order the teacher's requested items and ship them to the school. We verify every school address, and we never send cash.

We alert the school’s principal and other registered teachers at that school in advance of every shipment via fax and email, so they know when to expect the materials.

After materials arrive, teachers report on how those materials are being used in their classroom.

We’re a 501(c)3 nonprofit that has been awarded the highest ratings available from top charity watchdogs.
