“I absolutely love DonorsChoose and what it can do for our classrooms. It has definitely made it easier for me to gain access to MTM each year.”
“My district bought a subscription so I could pilot the program for my math intervention students. I love this program.”
“Our district’s curriculum department was introduced to it by a teacher that used and loved it, they have now provided access for all of our Algebra 1 teachers.”
Over 65% of All Access subscriptions are funded through schools — we would love to help you get your resources funded.
We’ve included a letter for you to ask your school leadership to support you in providing the materials needed to meet the standards! While schools don’t have unlimited funds, they do have access to funding and in many cases, curriculum qualifies. Many districts allocate funds at the campus level and our team at Maneuvering the Middle has had great success working with schools through campus budgets.
We are happy to share helpful information about our resources with your school administrator or representative who makes instructional material purchases. Email us at contact@maneuveringthemiddle.com to get the process started.
Maneuvering the Middle ® is a part of the BuyBoard Purchasing Cooperative.
Donors Choose is a funding website specifically designed for public and public charter school teachers who work with students at least 75% of the time. If you qualify, you can create a project and then work to get it funded by not only family and friends, but through the Donors Choose community of corporations and matching donations.
Projects with a cost of less than $300 are typically more successful and they have four months to be funded. Many teachers have had success promoting their MTM project request on their social media pages and in their email signatures, similar to sharing an Amazon Wish List.
Once you are funded, contact us for the necessary information and we will work with Donors Choose to get your All Access account created.

Many school districts partner with local education foundations to provide teachers and administrators an opportunity to apply for private funding. In most cases, purchasing a curriculum fulfills the eligibility requirements.
Review your education foundation’s grant qualifications and complete an application with the desire to fund your All Access membership. To support your proposal you can create a quote and attach a sample of the resources.
If you are awarded grant funding, contact us for the necessary information and we will work with your education foundation to get your All Access account created.
Oftentimes, PTOs have small grants that they offer to classroom teachers. Contact your PTO and see if they would be willing to support your students and classroom by providing you with a membership to All Access.
You can create a quote and send your PTO a sample of the resources to get the process started.
Take advantage of the generosity of your community around holidays and special occasions! Similar to linking an Amazon Wish List to your email signature, you can link your Donors Choose project in communication with parents or on your social media.
We often have parents reach out to purchase a subscription on behalf of a teacher. Our new platform allows teachers to receive subscriptions as a gift directly from a donor. Read more here.

This was the best resource for a first year teacher. I found it super helpful, because I was worried of what or how to go about teaching math to my students. I know that I can ask my colleagues in my department to help but MTM was so helpful! I was able to understand how to teach my students to where they understand as well it helped me mentally to prepare what we are going over in the classroom. I feel the biggest win was definitely how open the material is and how easy it is to access the materials.
In the spring semester, I “flipped” my classroom. I used the video resources for students to complete notes at an individual pace, rather than whole group. This encouraged student engagement rather than simply “looking engaged.” At the end of the semester, a student who struggled in math in the past told me he thought he could teach a math lesson now, and I have NO DOUBT that he could!!
