Starting September 22nd, qualifying projects will receive a 2X match on new donations. That means a $20 donation will become a $40 donation, and so on.
If your project meets the criteria below, new donations on your project will be matched as long as funding remains. You will see the match offer applied to your project as soon as it is approved and live on the site.
How to qualify:
- Teach at an Equity Focus School in Houston, Texas
- Request under $500 for your total project goal, including taxes, shipping, fees, and the suggested donation to support DonorsChoose
Frequently Asked Questions:
