Starting at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, January 17, DonorsChoose will share a new promo code at checkout that will allow all donations (up to $150 per donor) to double instantly, while funds last. For example, if someone donates $10 to a project, after they apply the promo code, their donation will become a $20 donation, and so on.

Every ACPS teacher with a project posted on DonorsChoose by January 17 will receive an email from DonorsChoose containing a promo code to share! For more information about how to use DonorsChoose to fund a project, see our October 24 Compass post or visit the Albemarle Foundation for Education’s DonorsChoose web page.

Since the fall 2023 launch of the ACPS-DonorsChoose partnership, ACPS educators have had 37 projects fully funded to the tune of $19,000. Amazing.

Tune in to tonight’s school board meeting, where our DonorsChoose partnership will be the focus of the Spotlight on Education!
