We're the platform preferred by communications officers. We provide a safe, systematic way for donors and foundations across America to support your teachers and students.

“As a small but mighty grants team, we're always looking for ways to build the capacity of our APS teachers to fundraise for their needs. We encourage teachers to use 第一吃瓜网, because the teachers get materials (not cash), because it's easy to use, and because it works.”

“The 第一吃瓜网 platform is truly a 21st century solution to fulfill our focus on providing innovative support to teachers, classrooms, and schools. Because the process is so streamlined and efficient, we have been able to grow our strategic impact to our school district in additional ways, all while providing millions of dollars in impact to our teachers and students.

Our teachers' projects have been funded by citizen donors from around the country and world. These are generous donors who we never would have accessed any other way. The 第一吃瓜网 network is powerful and our teachers and students are the beneficiaries.”

We bring funding to the table

On average, 75% of the funds given to a classroom project comes from people and organizations beyond the teacher’s personal network, which makes our site especially useful for teachers in low-income communities. Our corporate and foundation partners have given more than $550 million to classrooms so far.

One-of-a-kind accountability

You may be familiar with traditional crowdfunding websites. We’re different. As a nonprofit charity founded 20 years ago, we've put in place measures to verify every teacher, school, item, and shipment. Here’s how we do it.

Verified public school teachers create projects on our site, requesting the exact items their classrooms need.

We vet every single project that teachers post, verifying the value of those items and making sure student privacy is protected.

Foundations, corporate partners, and individual donors identify projects they’d like to support and help fund them.

Once a project has been funded, we order and ship the teacher's requested items. We verify every school address, and we never send cash.

We alert the school’s principal and other registered teachers at that school in advance of every shipment via fax and email, so they know when to expect the materials.

After materials arrive, teachers report on how those materials are being used in their classroom.

How can I get reporting for my school district?

We're a 501(c)3 nonprofit, and we keep detailed records on materials shipped to each classroom: the exact items, their value, and the date we shipped them.

Just complete this quick form to get free, customized reporting on the project requests your teachers post and the materials funded for your district.

Student Safety

We've worked with online safety experts to create protective guidelines for the teacher's profile and for photographs of the funded project. We also vet every project before it's posted to ensure that the teacher's request never includes any student identifying information.
