We Feel Your Pain

“Many California teachers are scrambling to find fresh ways to thriftily educate their students and maintain their physically crumbling classrooms.” They now spend $1,500 a year of their own money to keep their classrooms afloat.

"I always ask business owners if they have pens with their logo on them so that I can distribute them to the students," says Nosanov Goldman, who has been teaching for 22 years. "I've never had to beg like this."

• Educators easily create Wish Lists.

• Visitors (parents, grandparents, graduates, local businesses and others) see what is needed, and they make tax-deductible contributions to help.

• The full amount of the donation, less only a discounted credit card processing fee (just 2.2% and 30 cents) is credited to the teacher’s wish list account.

• More than 16,000 companies match employees’ donations, which can double their funding.

ClassWish.org: Wish Lists Provide Relief

Teachers Get Resources from Favorite Vendors

Educators use donations they receive to get resources from any of our partners (we keep adding more).

ClassWish sends the items right to the educators.

We deduct from the educators’ wish list accounts only the amount they would have paid had they bought the items, themselves. No fees!

It’s quick, easy and efficient.

The Result: Teachers and Students Get the Support They Need

ClassWish.org: A Different Approach to Better Serve Educators

• ClassWish welcomes every K-12 educator: teachers, student teachers, coaches, administrators, PTA/PTO leaders, and booster clubs.

• ClassWish serves all K-12 schools.

• ClassWish does not make teachers earn points to post their needs.

• ClassWish is easy. Create a wish list in minutes. No need to define an educational project or write a 400-word essay. No approvals needed.

• ClassWish wish lists never expire. No need to start all over again every four months.

• ClassWish does not charge fulfillment fees.

• ClassWish educators can use their funds as soon as donations come in.

• ClassWish educators need not raise any minimum amount, and they do not lose their money if they do not reach some target.

You may know of another nonprofit with a superficial similarity to ClassWish. Our solution is quicker, easier, more efficient, and risk-free.

Our new referral program gives teachers a quick and easy way to:

• help all the teachers and students in their school and beyond

• get even more resources for their own classroom.

It is modeled after the tremendously successful program that helped Dropbox.com grow quickly to 100 million users.
