📢 Bonus & Raffle Activation Notice:


To unlock the end-of-year bonus payout and raffle prizes, we need at least 20 unique teachers signed up and actively participating (receiving at least one raffle ticket purchase).

This ensures the rewards are meaningful, fair, and exciting for everyone. If the minimum isn’t met, the bonus and raffle may be postponed or adjusted — but we’ll always do our best to celebrate and reward the teachers who show up and make an impact! 🎉🍎

🎉 Bonus Pool – Big Wins for Big Impact!

The Bonus Pool is our way of giving back to the most appreciated teachers — not based on dollars, but on how many people show love with a tip. Every tip = 1 entry for the teacher. And at the end of the year, we give away real cash prizes!

💡 How It Works:

To earn raffle entries, teachers must have a profile on SupportMyTeachers.com.

  • Each $2 Bonus Raffle Ticket purchased = 1 raffle entry for that teacher.

  • No other donations or support gifts count toward raffle entries.

The more bonus tickets a teacher has, the better their chances of winning prizes and year-end bonuses! 🎉🍎

💰 2025 BONUS POOL ANNOUNCEMENT

🎉 This year’s bonus pool is personally funded with $500 — guaranteed.

I’ll be matching every dollar the site brings in from raffle tickets and support fees, until we hit $500.

If we don’t hit that by December, I’ll cover the rest myself — because teachers deserve to be seen and celebrated.

This is just the beginning. Let's make it grow.

🏅 How Are Bonuses Awarded?

    • 1st Place: 25% of the pool

    • 2nd Place: 15%

    • 3rd Place: 10%

  • 🎟️ 5 Randomly Chosen Teachers (raffle style)
