Home About Donor FAQ Teacher FAQ About Donate Now To ensure the accountability of DonateNow, the Blue Valley Educational Foundation works closely with the Blue Valley School District to review all proposals. The Foundation provides fiscal oversight so that individuals, foundations and corporations can contribute with confidence. Donors receive an electronic receipt from the Foundation for their contribution as well as a review from the teacher upon completion of the project. However, the teacher is not informed of which individuals made contributions to fund the project. How Donate Now Works The opportunity to take advantage of innovative learning resources has never been greater. Unfortunately, funding for public education is continually stressed and does not go as far as needed in equipping classrooms with resources and tools for learning. DonateNow gives teachers a unique funding opportunity, where they describe a student project, list the materials needed to make it possible, and give donors a chance to help make it a reality. The project may be very basic, like providing funds for paint in the art class, or for a complex project that requires more significant funding. DonateNow is not a bulletin board where teachers can directly post their proposals. Before a proposal is posted online, the Foundation and school district staff must approve the request. If anything is unclear, the BVEF staff will contact the teacher with follow up questions. Next, the project request will be posted on BVEF's Web site. Civic-minded individuals, foundations and corporations can browse teachers' submissions and make a potentially tax-deductible contribution that fully or partially funds any grants in which they are interested. (Donors should consult with their tax advisor for tax deductibility questions). Potential donors can also specify areas of interest and be directed to grant requests that fit their interests. When a proposal is funded, donations will be placed in an account at the Blue Valley School District. Teachers will draw from that fund for their budgeted items. The teacher will also complete a project review stating how the project impacted students. This review will be emailed to all project donors.
