We’re celebrating Giving Tuesday by donating 40 $50 AdoptAClassroom.org school supply donations to PreK-12 teachers.

Now is the perfect time to create or update your AdoptAClassroom.org classroom page for Giving Tuesday! On November 30, we’re matching donations, of up to $50 each, made to classroom pages on AdoptAClassroom.org. Learn more about our match here.

#SeasonOfGiving Giveaway: How to Enter for a $50 Classroom Donation

To enter for the chance to receive a $50 classroom donation, create or update your AdoptAClassroom.org classroom page by November 30, 2021. Follow each of our four steps for updating your classroom page to be eligible.

Don’t have a classroom page on AdoptAClassroom.org? Register on AdoptAClassroom.org and create a classroom page to be eligible to receive donations for school supplies.

Step 1: Upload a Profile Photo

Upload a profile photo to your AdoptAClassroom.org classroom page. If you’re not sure what photo to use, consider uploading your headshot, a photo of your classroom, your bitmoji, or an image of school supplies.

If there are students in your classroom page photos, be sure to keep student privacy in mind. Read our tips for taking photos of students here.

Read our step-by-step guide for uploading a profile photo to your AdoptAClassroom.org page if you need assistance here.

 

Step 2: Update or Create Your Classroom Page

Talk about your classroom needs for the 2021/2022 school year in the “Your Teaching Story” section of your classroom page. Explain why you need support from donors this school year, talk about your classroom and students’ needs (without using their names), and mention some of the specific school supplies you’re fundraising for and how they will help you and your students.

To learn more about how to update your classroom page, read our guide for navigating our teacher dashboard here.

 

Step 3: Include “#SeasonOfGiving” in Your Classroom Page

While updating your page, include the hashtag “#SeasonOfGiving” in the “Why We Need Your Help,” “About My Classroom,” or “What We Need” section of your classroom page so we know you applied for this donation.

Step 4: Set Your Classroom Page to Public

To enter our #SeasonOfGiving Giveaway, you must check the “Make My Page Public” box of your classroom page if it is not already public.

On AdoptAClassroom.org, you have the option to make your classroom page private if you’re not going to ask for donations from the public. If you have a private page you can still apply for our grants and spend  donations you receive from our sponsors. However, your page must be public to be eligible for this donation.

The benefit of having a public classroom page on AdoptAClassroom.org is that our donors can see your page and make a donation. It’s especially beneficial to you to have a public page on Giving Tuesday as we’re matching donations that donors make to your classroom page.

If you have questions about public vs. private classroom pages on AdoptAClassroom.org, please contact us at [email protected].
