With back-to-school just around the corner (sorry, kids!) Clorox is making $100,000 donation to DonorsChoose.org, a charity website that helps teachers get the funds they need for various classroom projects and supplies.
"The process of going back to school can be overwhelming – particularly for teachers who often fund many of their classroom needs with their own money – which is why we are excited to team with The Clorox Company this year," said Charles Best,fFounder and CEO of DonorsChoose.org. "Through this partnership, we will be able to ensure teachers have what they need so they can focus on what matters: their students."
With the donation, Clorox provides a "Double Your Impact" offer on DonorsChoose.org, which allows the company to match donors' contributions dollar-for-dollar. By donating to a project with The Clorox Company match offer, donors will be doubling the impact of their donation and helping get resources to even more schools in need.
Through Clorox's new receipt validation programm people across the country can help schools, just by shopping for back to school necessities. Consumers can earn rewards when they buy Clorox products as well as Hidden Valley and Glad products (which are owned by The Clorox Company). They can choose to donate the rewards to DonorsChoose.org or redeem for money back via Paypal.
According to Clorox, for every $5 spent on participating products, consumers will receive $1 that can be redeemed as a donation to DonorsChoose.org or earmarked as money off on future purchases.
"We can all relate to the chaos of back-to-school preparations and we understand the desire to make sure our children and their teachers have everything they need for a successful start to the school year," said Stacy Stokes, associate brand director, The Clorox Company. "That's why we are excited to partner with DonorsChoose.org – so we can help make the back to school time easier for all of us with products that keep our home and classrooms clean and healthy."
In addition to the DonorsChoose.org partnership, Clorox will host pop-up shops in communities in Chicago and Philadelphia. At each event, essential school supplies and products from Clorox, Glad and Hidden Valley Ranch will be distributed free of charge so that families and teachers can focus on having a happy and healthy school year, rather than worrying about the cost of school supplies.
