Our volunteers create a memorable experience for our donors by executing what we call the "special sauce" of our Thank‑You Package Process.
Donors who give more than $50 to a project have the chance to receive handwritten student thank-you notes-the "special sauce" of our Thank-You Packages. We receive hundreds of packages each day (sometimes thousands!) from classrooms across the country full of thank-yous. That's where you come in. Volunteers review the thank-yous to protect student privacy, check them into our computer system, repackage them, and mail them off to eager donors - all within 24 hours.After the first few months of their work, our volunteers report a newfound appreciation of glitter-art and an uncanny ability to speed-decipher third-grade handwriting.

Mission Statement
We make it easy for anyone to help a classroom in need, moving us closer to a nation where students in every community have the tools and experiences they need for a great education.
Description
Public school teachers from every corner of America create classroom project requests, and you can give any amount to the project that inspires you. To ensure integrity, we're there through every step of every project. We vet all requests, purchase each item, and ship materials directly to verified schools. Our team has vetted and fulfilled over 600,000 classroom project requests that range from butterfly cocoons, to robotics kits, to Little House on the Prairie . Many of us are former teachers, so our operation feels like a cross between a startup and a schoolhouse.
