There are many benefits to donating stocks, two key benefits are that if you itemize deductions, you can claim a charitable deduction equal to the stock’s fair market value, and you can avoid the capital gains tax you’d pay if you sold the stock.

A fund created by Million Dollar Teacher Project in honor of our Founder Lloyd Hopkins. A portion of every donation made here will go towards offering scholarships to teachers looking to further their education or individuals looking to enter the teaching profession, offer emergency assistance to teachers experiencing hardships, teacher debt relief, offering field trip grants to teachers who have an educational experience they would like to take their students on but can’t afford, financial awards for teacher excellence, grants to individuals/organizations doing effective work to support teachers in varied ways, basic needs assistant to students/families identified by teachers who may have encountered struggles in their lives that are preventing academic achievement, grants to schools/districts to boost their teacher compensation and support MDTP programming on their campuses.
Million Dollar Teacher Tree was first developed in a classroom by students in a program called, Next Generation Service Corps at Arizona State University in December of 2017. These students were tasked by Lloyd Hopkins, founder of Million Dollar Teacher project with developing a project that can potentially become an integral part in helping MDTP achieve its mission. The group eventually developed the original prototype for Million Dollar Teacher Tree—a cutout dollar sign that would be placed in surrounding businesses near the partner school. The idea was pitched to staff members of MDTP during the last of their class, and the project was picked up by MDTP as a new pilot program for the organization. After many months of planning, the prototype was eventually revamped into what it is today, Million Dollar Teacher Tree.
