What is the Million Dollar Teacher Tree?
An opportunity for you to support students by supporting teachers.
The Problem
Each year, teachers spend over $1,000 of their own money on school supplies for their students and classrooms so they can set their students up for a successful school year.
The Million Dollar Teacher Project believes that teachers shouldn’t have to use their limited resources to enable their students’ success, and their own professional development. The Million Dollar Teacher Tree is a vehicle for you, the community, to support our educators with the supplies and training they need to be successful so they, in turn, can make our students successful.

Growing the Tree
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.
