    The Foundation for Oklahoma City Public Schools and DonorsChoose.org,
    working together to support OKCPS teachers and students.

    The Foundation for Oklahoma City Public Schools has partnered with DonorsChoose.org, a 21st Century approach to connecting donors to directly support local classrooms.

    Through DonorsChoose.org, teachers are empowered to fund supplies and grants for the classroom and beyond. Once funding is achieved, requested materials will be shipped directly to teachers, removing the hassle of traveling back and forth to our Teachers' Warehouse.

    The Foundation encourages teachers to visit DonorsChoose.org, register and create project pages to meet classroom needs. Donors are encouraged to visit the website and explore exciting projects happening in Oklahoma City Public Schools. 

     

    OKCPS teachers creating new DonorsChoose.org projects will receive a special First Donation from the Foundation.

    • Each teacher has the opportunity to receive a $150 donation to their first project posted after July 1st.
    • The $150 First Donation can be applied to any project, no matter the cost, materials requested, or subject area.
    • DonorsChoose.org staff will apply the First Donation to your project within one week.
    • After the First Donation, your project will be seen by citizen donors across the country and have the opportunity to receive further donations over the next four months!
    • Projects costing $800 or less get fully funded 75% of the time.
    • Teachers’ projects might also be eligible for additional funding through other DonorsChoose.org corporate and foundation partners, like SONIC Drive-In, DICK’S Sporting Goods, Google, and Tom’s of Maine.
    • Teachers should register at donorschoose.org/teachers and submit their projects.
