Delaware Valley Fairness Project provides resources to teachers for innovative projects that build needed skills, broaden student experiences or foster social-emotional and character development. We concentrate on schools serving children most affected by poverty, populations that do not have the financial means to provide support to under-resourced neighborhood schools.
Our belief is that teachers should not have to be fundraisers. They should not have to do anything more than tell us what they need, why and how their need meets our basic standards. Unlike organizations that provide platforms to allow teachers to raise funds for classroom projects and often take months before the money is available if fundraising is successful, we provide the funds to teachers upfront and take on the responsibility for raising funds ourselves. Projects we support happen when they should, not many months in the future, if at all.
DVFP’s funds are not unlimited. Having invested tens of thousands of dollars in teacher projects in under-resourced schools serving low-income communities in Philadelphia and the region, we count on donations from the public. Anyone can join in our effort. We welcome unrestricted donations and donations in support of specific subject areas (e.g., science, reading).

About Us
Delaware Valley Fairness Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization incorporated in Pennsylvania. Our mission is to make life a little more fair for people – especially children – most affected by poverty. We act on our mission by providing resources to schools serving children in impoverished neighborhoods and by providing support in the form of life-skills education, part-time jobs and emergency financial assistance to the families of the students in those schools. A good education is the best hope for a child to escape the cycle of poverty and an enriching school-life and a nurturing home-life are both needed for the child to receive that good education.
