Support Texas Teachers and Double your Impact

#TeachersCan and DonorsChoose are teaming up once again to help teachers across the state through a matching fundraiser campaign. Our Goal: to fund as many classroom projects as possible. How does it work?

  • Teachers add their wish lists at DonorsChoose.org
  • Donors search for topics, teachers, schools, or regions to support
  • Individual donors contribute to fund specific projects
  • #TeachersCan partners match the donation to double the impact
