The end of the year is all about generosity, and there's no better way to make a difference in your community than by supporting teachers. When companies and foundations partner with DonorsChoose, they can make a big impact on classrooms nationwide, all while quickly and effectively meeting their year-end impact goals.
Check out how four of our partners harnessed the power of the giving season to hit their impact and business goals!

Nature Made partnered with influencers to engage the public in supporting schools
Social media can be a powerful tool for spreading good. As the holiday season kicked off in November, Nature Made discovered just how powerful. First, they fully funded teachers’ requests for health and wellness supplies for students in public schools where the need was highest. To drive awareness of students’ ongoing needs of public school classrooms, they equipped six influencers with $5,000 DonorsChoose gift codes to support the classrooms of their choosing.
Mazda helped to uplift their community during the holiday season
As the year came to a close, Mazda wanted to make an impact in their local communities by supporting educators nationwide and funding DonorsChoose projects to bring essential resources to classrooms. Mazda matched $250,000 in donations to Warmth, Care, and Hunger projects on DonorsChoose, getting students essential items like warm coats, toothpaste, and healthy snacks. To deepen their community connection, Mazda worked with funded schools to organize celebrations with and for teachers.
Troutman Pepper Locke celebrated their clients with donations made in their honor
Troutman Pepper Locke recognizes the transformative power of education in building strong communities. Each year during the holiday season, the firm honors its clients through charitable contributions, and in 2024 partnered with DonorsChoose to make donations to classrooms in 28-cities where the firm has offices. The firm was proud to support educators and students by providing essential resources that would help them start the new year set up for educational success.
The McChord Family Foundation rapidly distributed $1 million to support local Massachusetts teachers
The McChord Family Foundation had a vision: equip teachers and students in Massachusetts with everything they needed for a successful new year. So, on December 31, the foundation fully funded every teacher's project on DonorsChoose across the state. More than 1,100 teachers in 448 schools were able to stock their classrooms with everything from clarinets for young musicians, to flexible seating for active learners, to STEM kits for future innovators.
We’re excited to work with companies and foundations who are looking to make an impact before the end of the year. Connect with our team via our Partnership Center.
