At DonorsChoose, teachers request the tools and experiences their students need most, and donors support the classroom requests that inspire them. Since our founding by a public school teacher in 2000, teachers at 4 in 5 U.S. public schools have used DonorsChoose to request classroom resources, and we've helped bring more than 1 million of these classroom dreams to life. We've received the highest ranking from Charity Navigator for transparency and efficacy 13 years running, putting us in the top 1% of organizations rated by the charity watchdog. We're proud to be called Stephen Colbert's "charity of choice."
