Note: This webinar was presented several years ago, so some of the information might be out of date. However, the tips for getting projects funded are still relevant, so we’ve decided to leave the webinar up for viewing.
Webinar presented by Francie Kugelman and Laura Candler
If you’re like most teachers, you spend far too much money on classroom supplies and resources, so you owe it to yourself to learn about DonorsChoose and the Caring Classrooms Community!
What is DonorsChoose?
DonorsChoose is an amazing nonprofit organization that helps public school teachers in the U.S. obtain funding for their classroom projects. As of this date, they’ve helped teachers receive over a BILLION dollars in funding for their classrooms! I received thousands of dollars from donors when I was teaching, and now I love telling others about this fantastic organization.
What is the Caring Classrooms Community?
Caring Classrooms is a giving page that’s a part of the DonorsChoose community. Lisa Douglas and I are the admins of this giving page, and if you’d like to learn how to get us to feature your project on our giving page, head over to the Caring Classrooms page to learn how it works.
As of September 2026, the Caring Classrooms Community has helped to raise over $1,400,000 for classrooms in the US!

Professional Development Certificate
You may be able to earn professional development credits for watching this webinar. We don’t have the authority to award PD credits, but you can download this professional development certificate and check with your school or district to see if they will accept it. This certificate is for 60 minutes of professional development because that’s the length of the replay.
