Teachers in Illinois need your help to bring their classroom dreams to life. Show an Illinois teacher you're rooting for them!

Every year, teachers spend over $500 out of pocket on supplies for their classroom. Your generosity will bring pencils, a computer, or other tangible resources to a classroom, impacting teachers and their students not just with your contribution, but the knowledge that someone out there cares about their success.

Click the green “give” button above, enter an amount, and we’ll send your gift to a high-need classroom. Your donation is tax-deductible.

DonorsChoose.org makes it easy for anyone to help a classroom in need. Public school teachers from every corner of America create classroom project requests, and you can give any amount to the project that inspires you. Our efficiency and transparency have earned us Charity Navigator's highest rating, and since 2017, our community has helped teachers in more than three quarters of US public schools bring their classroom dreams to life.
