Support Teachers with Donation to DonorsChoose with Daffy (Donor Advised Fund for You)

At DonorsChoose, teachers request the tools and experiences their students need most, and donors support the classroom requests that inspire them. Since our founding by a public school teacher in 2000, teachers at 4 in 5 U.S. public schools have used DonorsChoose to request classroom resources, and we've helped bring more than 1 million of these classroom dreams to life. We've received the highest ranking from Charity Navigator for transparency and efficacy 13 years running, putting us in the top 1% of organizations rated by the charity watchdog. 

I have partnered up with Daffy to help support teachers and Donorschoose.  What is Daffy you ask? Daffy is the Donor-Advised Fund for You™, a not-for-profit community built around a new, modern platform for giving, one built around the commitment to give, not the amount you give. It empowers people to be more generous, more often through a seamless web and app experience that helps members set money aside, watch it grow tax-free, and donate to more than 1.5 million charities. Daffy provides a number of member-focused features that make giving an easy habit to keep. To give with Daffy, visit daffy.org or search “Daffy” in the App Store. When you are ready, you can make a one-time donation or recurring donation to your favorite organizations such as Donorchoose.  



I'm ready to donate, how do I create an account?  
Great question!  Creating an account is so easy, simply click on the image below for the campaign or this Daffy link.  Create your account using a email account and start contributing money to your account from your funding source.  

There is no donation that is too small!  Unable to help support teachers right now, share with your family and friend on your favorite social media platform!

A Guide to Using Plastiq

What is Plastiq?

This is a question I was wondering myself 3 months ago when I heard of it for the first time. Plastiq is a service that lets you pay virtually any bill with a credit card. There is a 2.5% flat fee for all transactions, and there are a few payment type restrictions for each various credit card issuers.
The idea is that you can pay a merchant with a credit card, and Plastiq will generate either a check, ACH payment, or wire. Why pay with a credit card? We typically recommend using Plastiq to hit a minimum spend requirement on a new credit card or to earn more points for a specific redemption.

What Bills Can You Pay With Plastiq?

Here is a list of list of ideas on common recurring bills you can pay with Plastiq:
  • Rent
  • Mortgage (Mastercard and Discover only)
  • Tuition
  • Car payment
  • Taxes
  • Wedding vendors
  • Home repair vendors
  • Daycare
  • Business rent

How to Use Plastiq

  • Sign up for a new account here: http://bit.ly/JoinPlastiq
  • Tell Plastiq who you want to pay by entering the recipient information, payment amount, and credit card you would like to use
  • Plastiq will charge your credit card for the respective amount + 2.5% transaction fee
  • The recipient will receive payment via check or ACH

Try Plastiq and get $500 in fee-free payments after you spend $500 (referral link): http://bit.ly/JoinPlastiq
