material girl has chosen donorschoose.org as the beneficiary of our fundraising efforts. 

public school teachers from across america submit projects to be funded ranging from field trips to the zoo to pencils for the classroom.  the impact is immediate, sometimes life changing, but most importantly involving education for those less fortunate. 

material girl will donate $1 for every bag ordered and will match up to $5 of additional customer donations per order.  each month material girl will choose 3 worthwhile projects where you can choose where the contributions will go.

ms. j's classroom in colorado has received tickets donated to see the musical "wicked" live on stage and needs transportation to the center for performing arts. 

ms. j teaches high school reading to a highly at-risk population.  most of her students speak english as their second language and most are economically disadvantaged.  "wicked" has been the theme throughout the year and the excitement has caused an increase in attendance, many sitting next to students in rival gangs while discussing the negative implications of judging others.  click here to read the full donation request.
