Decision Day

All advisers are required to host a Decision Day at their site at the end of the year. Advisers are each given a $1000 budget (total of $2000 for partner schools).

Decision Day may be different at every site but it is a time to celebrate students for their post-high school plans.

• DonorsChoose & Better Make Room
  • Better Make Room offers $500 grants for Decision Days. In order to apply, you must create a project on DonorsChoose, where you will provide information about your event and your students and create a list of items that will be purchased when your project is fully funded. Once your DonorsChoose project is approved, you should submit the link to Better Make Room, who can provide up to $500 toward your project. Once your project is approved, you'll begin to receive your requested items, which will be shipped to your school.
  • Better Make Room is a great source for incentives for your event. Advisers have received items from laptops to Beats to dorm supplies from this source!
  • Apply early in the spring to give enough time to have your project approved by DonorsChoose and Better Make Room and to allow time for items to ship.
