Charity Allows Teachers to Post Classroom Project Requests

DonorsChoose.org is an online charity where public school teachers can post classroom project requests. Do you need pencils for a poetry writing unit, violins for a school recital or microscope slides for a biology class?

DonorsChoose.org - Where All Public School Teachers Can Post Classroom Project Requests

DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need. Public school teachers from every corner of America can post classroom project requests on DonorsChoose.org. Requests range from pencils for a poetry writing unit, to violins for a school recital, to microscope slides for a biology class.

Then, donors can browse project requests and give any amount to the one what inspires them. Once a project reaches its funding goal,  DonorsChoose.org delivers the materials to the school.

Donors will then recieve photos of the project taking place, a thank-you letter from the teacher, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. If donors give more than $50, they'll also receive hand-written thank-you letters from the students.

At DonorsChoose.org, people can give as little as $1 and get the same level of choice, transparency, and feedback that is traditionally reserved for someone who gives millions. They call it citizen philanthropy.
