Last year, as teachers returned to school, Herb Kohl Philanthropies surprised educators all over the state by funding almost 700 projects on Donors Choose.
Every single request made by a Wisconsin educator on DonorsChoose.org was fully funded-- almost 700 projects.
What will 2017 bring? We don't know yet, but Herb Kohl has been a great supporter of education and educators... I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again.

So what do you need to do? Think of a project you'd love to start or continue if you only had the money-- books to start mindfulness in the elementary (that's my plan!), play therapy toys and games, seating, books for classroom guidance, Chromebooks for your students to use in your office, hotspots for kids to check out... the list is endless! Go on the Donors Choose website, make an account, and follow the directions. They'll ask for info about your school, your kids, a picture of you, and a picture of your classroom. You shop for items online through places like Scholastic and Amazon. Don't be surprised if they send your application back for tweaking-- if they ask you to be specific with information, they want details!
It will take at least an hour of your time to complete an application so get started! It would be sad if "back to school" is also "back to giving" for the Kohl Foundation and you miss out!
