  Approved, funded, and delivered classrooms appear on our Classrooms page.

• Results shared

  Teachers report back about 90 days after delivery. We share student work with the donors and sponsors who paid for it.

• Earmarks honored

  If you fund a specific classroom, your gift goes to that classroom. If it gets fully funded first, we tell you where the extra went.

• Public filings

  Our IRS Form 990 is public and lists our board, revenue, and expenses. Ask us and we'll send the latest one.
