Your donation on DonorsChoose.org, whether it’s to a specific project or teacher, or in the form of a gift card or account credit, represents a tax-deductible donation to our 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. As such, we do not proactively offer refunds for projects that do not reach full funding, or gift cards that are left unredeemed, as the funds are always repurposed to support other classroom projects on Donorschoose.org.
Refund requests submitted within 150 days of the original payment date will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and in most cases, will result in a DonorsChoose credit. We are unable to offer any refunds if more than 150 days have passed since the payment date.
