Wishlist-type Grant Opportunities
- Adopt-A-Classroom - allows teachers to register and describe their classroom which then appears on a digital database for donors to select. Teachers receive a credit that they can then use to shop online from selected vendors (who then re-donate a portion of their sales).
- Digital Wish - allows you to create a wishlist or a fundraiser for your school or classroom. Donors can donate directly to the classroom or put money toward specific items for the classroom.
- Donors Choose - teachers put a classroom project idea in a searchable database and donors select a project to support. Once the required funding is reached, DonorsChoose sends you the classroom materials.
- Classwish - Teachers create a wish list of materials they need, and visitors to the site can make donations toward these needs.
