Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: I teach in a state or county listed in the table above, but my school’s zip code is not listed. Will my project be eligible for funding?
No; only projects from the specific zip codes listed above are eligible for funding. The states and counties listed are for reference only, in relation to the zip codes.
Q: How can I be sure I qualify for this match?

Q: How is information gathered about my school?
We receive our school data from a third party vendor called MDR. You can find out your school’s designation by visiting your school page through your teacher profile page.

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 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.
Q: Do Classroom Essentials lists qualify for this funding opportunity?
No. Donations placed to a Classroom Essentials list will not be matched by this funding opportunity. Essentials lists are currently not eligible to receive matching donations from any funding opportunity. You can read more about Classroom Essentials in our Help Center.
