As DTCare is registered to solicit donations nationwide, we are able to accept donations from U.S. donors in all 50 states and then subsequently grant the funds to select, vetted charities that may not have the bandwidth to get registered themselves. For the America’s Favorite Teacher competition, DTCare will receive 100% of the donations, and we selected Teach For America as our designated grantee.

The donation will help support the organization’s mission to find, develop, and support equity-oriented leaders — individually and in teams — so they can transform education and expand opportunity with children, starting in the classroom.
