Starting January 9, 2025, 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. Once your project is approved and live on the site, you will see the match offer displayed on your project page.
How to qualify:
- You teach any of the listed grade levels: Pre K - 2nd; 3rd - 5th in Queens, NY.
-
Teach at a school where 51%+ of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. You can check if your school qualifies here: School Economic Need at DonorsChoose.
- Create a project requesting STEM materials and select the STEM subject area. Please ensure accurate representation and select the corresponding subject area only if it aligns with your project.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Are there any restrictions on which donations are matched?
All new donations to live projects are eligible for this match. Previous donations placed before the match offer's start date will not be matched.
Q: How can I edit my posted project?
If your project has not received any donations, you can make any edits by returning your project to a draft status. You can do this by heading over to the Projects section of your account and clicking on the "Return project to draft" button underneath your project title. Once your project is in draft status, you can make any edits and resubmit it. Then, it will be re-screened by our team and re-posted if eligible. Read more about editing your project.
