What kind of match?
Starting March 10th, all qualifying projects will receive a 2X match. That means a $20 donation will become a $40 donation. Teachers who have never had a project fully funded on DonorsChoose before can receive a 3X match, that means a $20 donation will become a $60 donation.
If your project meets the criteria below, new donations on your project will be matched as long as funding remains. You will see the match offer applied to your project as soon as it is approved and live on the site. Please note, the match offer will not appear during Friends and Family Pre-Funding.
How to qualify for the 2X match offer :
- Look through the lesson plans created by fellow DonorsChoose teachers that correspond to each of the kits listed below. Choose the lesson plan that best suits your students’ learning needs!
- Create a project focused on financial education.
- Shop from AKJ Education or Lakeshore and request one of the Financial Literacy Resource Kits listed below.
- You may request up to $50 in resources in addition to your kit that would be useful in bringing your lesson plan to life (from any vendor). Please be aware that if you add more than $50 of resources, your project will not receive the match offer.
- Select Financial Literacy as your project’s subject area
How to qualify for the 3X match offer:
- Follow all of the criteria listed above.
