Submit a Project
- Register
- Write a funding request which inspires donors by describing what you need, why you need it, and how your project will change your students' lives for the better.
- Word to the wise: projects under $400 have the best chance of being funded.
- Every day projects are funded on our site, and yours could be next!
- If (dare we say when?) your project is funded, we ship the materials straight to your school.
- In return, you and your students will write thank-you letters and take photographs of the project in action. We’ll share your thanks with your donors, who love to see the impact of their gifts!
