On May 7, 2025 starting at 1pm ET, qualifying projects will receive a one-time donation of $300.
If your project meets the criteria below, the one-time donation will appear once it is approved and live on the site.
How to qualify:
- You’ve never had a project funded before on Donors Choose.
- You teach in Wisconsin.Â
-
Request under $1,000 for your total project goal, including taxes, shipping, fees, and the suggested donation to support DonorsChoose. This is about $750 worth of materials.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How can I ensure that my project is fully funded by the one-time donation?Â
Your project’s total goal must be lower than the $300 one-time donation amount. The total project goal is shown on your project as you’re carting materials. This is about $220 worth of materials.
If you create a project with a total project goal less than $1,000, you will still receive the one-time donation but your project will not be fully funded. If you have a total project goal over $1,000, then you will not receive the one-time donation.Â
Q: Is there a limit to how expensive my project can be to qualify for this funding opportunity?
This one-time donation only applies to projects with a total project goal under $1,000, including taxes, shipping, fees, and the suggested donation to support DonorsChoose. Anything over the total project goal will not qualify for this one-time donation. Shipping charges may vary and the suggested donation amount can't be removed from a project's total goal. While you cannot remove the suggested donation, donors can choose to opt-out of giving a portion of their donation to DonorsChoose.
Q: How can I edit my project?
If your project has not received any donations, you can make any edits by returning your project to 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.
