10% of every donation

Goes to a DonorsChoose classroom — in your name.

When you give, we set aside 10% and contribute it to a DonorsChoose project supporting children with special needs. You’ll get the project link, the classroom’s thank-you, and a record of where your gift went.

Our founder started his career as a paraprofessional in special education. The pay was low, the funding was lower, and the people who do that work show up anyway. This pledge is for them. Read the founder’s story →

About DonorsChoose

What is DonorsChoose?

DonorsChoose.org is a U.S. nonprofit that lets public school teachers post project requests for the supplies, books, and tools their students need. Donors can browse projects, fund the ones that move them, and see exactly how the classroom uses their gift.

It's transparent, direct, and small enough to feel personal. A donation can fund anything from a sensory kit for an autism resource room to adaptive seating for a kindergartener with cerebral palsy.

Why special-needs classrooms

Where we direct your 10%.

Special-education programs are chronically under-resourced — and the children who need the most adaptive tools, sensory equipment, and one-on-one materials are the ones whose teachers stretch the thinnest budgets.

We focus our DonorsChoose contributions on classrooms serving:

  • Students with autism, sensory processing differences, and developmental delays
  • Children with hearing or vision impairment
  • Students with physical disabilities and mobility needs
  • Inclusive classrooms working to support neurodiverse learners

FAQ

Common questions.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

The 10% portion routed to DonorsChoose is fully tax-deductible — DonorsChoose.org is a registered 501(c)(3) and you'll receive a receipt directly from them. The 90% supporting Life Capital is not currently tax-deductible, as Vice Capital Corp is a for-profit California corporation.

How do I know the classroom got the money?

After your donation processes, we email you the DonorsChoose project link, the teacher's name, and the classroom's photo. Once the project is fully funded, DonorsChoose sends you the classroom's thank-you note and impact letter directly.

Who picks the classroom?

Our team curates a short list of active DonorsChoose projects each month, prioritizing classrooms serving children with autism, sensory disabilities, mobility needs, or inclusive special-education programs. You can also nominate a project — just email us the link.

Can I donate in honor of someone?

Yes. After checkout, reply to your Stripe receipt with the honoree's name and (optionally) their email — we'll include them on the DonorsChoose acknowledgement.

What if I want to give more than 10% to DonorsChoose?

Easiest path: donate to DonorsChoose directly at donorschoose.org and forward us your receipt — we'll match a portion when our budget allows.

Is there a recurring option?

Yes. Email capitalnetwork@vicecapitalcorp.com and we'll set up a monthly Stripe subscription for any amount.
