π’ Bonus Activation Notice:
To activate the end-of-year bonus, there must be at least 20 unique teachers signed up and actively participating(receiving at least one support gift or nomination).
This ensures the bonus is meaningful and fair for everyone involved. If the minimum isnβt met, the bonus may be postponed or adjusted β but weβll always do our best to reward the teachers who show up and make an impact!
The Bonus Pool is our way of giving back to the most appreciated teachers β 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!
π Bonus Pool β Big Wins for Big Impact!
π° 2025 BONUS POOL ANNOUNCEMENT
π This yearβs bonus pool is personally funded with $1,000 β guaranteed.
Iβll be matching every dollar the site brings in from raffle tickets and support fees, until we hit $1,000.
If we donβt hit that by December, Iβll cover the rest myself β because teachers deserve to be seen and celebrated.
This is just the beginning. Let's make it grow.
π‘ How It Works:
Each support gift or donation = 1 automatic raffle entry for the teacher (regardless of amount).
Teachers donβt need to do anything extra β theyβre entered automatically.
The more individual supporters you have, the better your chances!
