Donors Choose, http://www.donorschoose.org/, is an online charity that connects teachers to people who are willing to donate money or equipment for projects specified by the teachers.

In order to purchase specific equipment, the company needs to be listed as an approved vendor. Vernier is not an approved vendor. We have asked Donors Choose to add us as a vendor, but they are not adding additional vendors at this time. They have suggested two options to us:

1. Recommend that teachers request Vernier products by submitting a Special Request project through DonorsChoose.org (see more info below).

2. Purchase our products through one of our dealers that is on the DonorsChoose vendor list: both Ward’s Science and School Specialty carry Vernier products and are approved vendors.

A Special Request project allows teachers with previous experience using DonorsChoose.org to select materials or services that are not available from integrated vendors. For more information about their Special Request Process, please check out the following help center articles.
