How It Works

If you know your teacher’s email address, enter it here and select Tip Now. If not, select “I don’t know the teacher’s email.” You will be taken to a screen where you will provide detailed information that we will use to verify their teaching status.

If your teacher has set up an account, you will go directly to the donation page. If not, you will be asked to provide additional contact information that we will use to verify their status before sending them the donation.
