Your Questions, Answered

  • No teacher should have to fund their own classroom. Yet every day, teachers across America post requests for basic classroom supplies on platforms like DonorsChoose, crossing their fingers that enough strangers will chip in. There is no guarantee their requests will be met.

    We’re building Village to bridge this gap. Our donors contribute weekly, we pool those funds, and we fully fund teacher requests every week. No teacher left waiting. No request left unfunded. And every week, you receive a report showing exactly which requests we funded.

  • We focus on requests that are about to expire and have not been fully funded on platforms like DonorsChoose, AdoptAClassroom, and GoFundMe.
