U.S. Cellular is Calling All Teachers to Take Action

Last year U.S. Cellular funded $1.1 million in classroom requests at DonorsChoose.org as part of their Calling All Teachers campaign, and this year they’re at it again! Starting in September, $1 million in funding will be provided to projects across 25 states thanks to U.S. Cellular’s supreme generosity; teachers can prepare for this spectacular event now by registering as a "U.S. Cellular Teacher." They must select the “U.S. Cellular Teacher” affiliation and must submit a new project between August 1 and September 15 to have their project(s) considered, but this doesn’t guarantee funding. Projects will be hand-picked for funding at the discretion of U.S. Cellular in the fall.Here’s how to sign up as a U.S. Cellular Teacher

1. Sign into your teacher account at DonorsChoose.org or create one if you’re a first-timer.
2. On your main account page, click “update affiliations” (or if you’re creating a new account, you’ll have the option to choose your Teacher Affiliations during the process).
3. Scroll down and check the box marked “U.S. Cellular Teacher,” then click the “Next” button at the bottom of the page.
4. On the next screen, click “I agree” and you’ll return to your main account page (or if you’re creating a new account, you’ll move forward in the registration process). Now you are classified as a “U.S. Cellular Teacher” and in the fall any projects you have posted will be considered for U.S. Cellular funding.
