Thanks to funding from the Rebuild Texas Fund, projects from the Texas counties receiving assistance from FEMA in the wake of Hurricane Harvey can qualify for a 2X Match. If you are a teacher who has never had a project fully funded on DonorsChoose.org, your project will receive a 5X match.*
To receive this match, enter the campaign code REBUILDTX and mention the impact of the hurricane on your community in your essay. You will see the match offer applied to your project as soon as it's live.
Teachers from the 40 counties listed at the bottom of this article can receive this match. Hit control + F and type your county name to quickly see if your county's included!
