Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I create a list?
See our guide on creating a Classroom Essentials list here! Choose from a variety of fundamental supplies, no essay needed!
2. If I receive less than $15 in funding, am I eligible for an additional donation until the $15 is reached?
No, teachers are eligible for a one-time donation, up to $15, regardless of donation amount. For example, if a list needs $25 to be fully funded, $15 of that $25 will be applied as a donation. If a list needs $5 to be fully funded, only $5 will be applied as a donation. Fill your list and ensure that donors have plenty of items to help fund!
3. I created a list prior to July 22, am I eligible for a donation?
You are not eligible. Only new lists created on or after July 22, which are still in need of funding, will receive this donation.
4. I’m eligible, but I don’t see my donation.
Donations are expected to be applied every Friday through 9/16, with a final funding on Wednesday, 9/17, OR as long as funds are available. This means that if funds run out, then donations will not be applied through September 17th. We’ll update this page if funds run out.
If you create your list on a Friday, you’ll see your donation one week from your creation date (the following Friday), unless funds run out.
If your list is otherwise fully funded before Friday, it will not receive the donation (i.e., your list cannot receive more funds than it shows as needed).
If you have checked your list creation date and anticipated funding date, and you’re still not sure where your donation is, please contact us.
