When you find a teacher’s Classroom Essentials list, you can add a donation directly to your cart, much like you would for a traditional project. You’ll head to checkout once you’re ready to donate.
Within checkout, you’ll see the corresponding donation for a teacher’s list. Your donation is to the teacher, and with your donation, they will get to decide which classroom basic items from their list they need most urgently. You can’t specifically fund a certain item from a teacher’s list.
After you’ve completed your donation, you’ll get an email confirmation and donation receipt.
Can I donate to a list using credits or a gift code?
Yes! Please enter the gift code at checkout to apply it as your payment method; credits will be automatically applied if you are logged into your account.
Can I use promo codes on my donations to an Essentials list?
Promo codes and match offers are not currently applicable to any donations to an Essentials list.
When will my gift be used to purchase materials?
Teachers will be notified of the funds available right away. If they have enough funds to purchase one or more of their list items, they may do so immediately, though they can also wait for up to a year.
All donations received/applied to a list will expire 1 year from the date they were applied.
Why can’t I donate to a certain Essentials List?
If you can view an Essentials List, but are unable to place a donation, this means the teacher is no longer accepting donations on their list. Check out their teacher page to see if they have a project that is accepting a donation, or make a donation to the school.
