Overview
Managing Director, Foundation Jobs in Los Angeles, California, USA at On-Ramps
Donors Choose is the #1 nonprofit funding site for U.S. public school teachers. Public school teachers from every corner of America request the resources they need, and you can give any amount to the project that inspires you.
About the Organization
Since 2000, more than 6 million people and partners have contributed $1.5 billion to support 3 million teacher requests for classroom resources and experiences. Projects range from art supplies to build the set for a school musical, books and puzzles affirming students’ identities, and bird seed for an at-home science project. We proudly serve all US public schools, public charter schools, and Head Start centers, and we combat systemic inequity by driving a majority of donations to schools that have been historically underfunded due to economic and racial inequity.
GOOD Magazine and the Nonprofit Times have recognized Donors Choose as a best place to work. Fast Company named Donors Choose one of the 50 MostInnovativeCompanies in the World—the first time a charity has made this list. Our dedicated team works from across the United States to bring classroom dreams to life.
