We hope that you can use your materials, but there are certain scenarios that might affect whether you should confirm or decline funding for your fully funded project:
You already acquired some or all of the materials requested in your project
If you can still use the requested materials to enhance your students' educational experience, you should accept the funding for your project. If not, you should decline the funding.
You’re changing schools (and headed to teach full time at another U.S. public school)
If you can still use the materials requested in your project in your new classroom, you can update your account, then accept the funding.
To change your school on your account:
- Log into your teacher account and go to your Public info section.
- You'll see your currently listed school - Click "update school information" to select a new school.
- Find your new school using our search tool.
- Once you've selected your new school and saved this change, make sure your Public info section reflects this.
- You can then go to your Projects section and use the "Confirm funding" link to confirm funding.
If you're unable to find your new school in our database or the shipping info for your new school is incorrect, you'll be able to submit a request to have your school added or updated. Your fully funded project will be placed on hold while we're updating this information. Once that is complete, we'll un-suspend your project and notify you so that you can move forward with confirming your project at that time.
You’re going on extended leave
If you aren’t able to move forward with your project now, you should decline funding. We encourage you to submit a new project once you’re back in the classroom for the items you need at that time.
You're no longer planning to teach full time
If you cannot complete the classroom project, you should decline funding.
