DonorsChoose connects donors and teachers

by Church Hill People's News02/11/201002/11/2010

DonorsChoose is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need:

Here’s how it works: public school teachers from every corner of America 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.

Here are the current listings for Richmond, Bellevue, Chimborazo, George Mason, Fairfield, Woodeville, Franklin Military Academy, Armstrong, and MLK Middle School.

This really works! I posted a project to DonorsChoose back over one of the January snow days, seeking a bunch of USB drives for a class of mine. I just found out that the project was fully funded, by donations from individual donors from DC and Pennsylvania, and a generous gift from The Pershing Square Foundation.

John, I LOVE DonorsChoose!!! As a kindergarten teacher in Church Hill it is such a great resource!!! I just had my third project this year, fourth project total, funded! I am so excited. My kindergarten students and classroom have received so many manipulatives, books, art supplies, cds, (math, science,and social science) and even furniture through the generous donations of people from Richmond, VA, NC, NY, GA, CA, and even Alaska! To anyone that has donated to any project THANK YOU! To anyone looking for a place to donate, check it out! It’s tax deductible. Thank you John for posting this thread! It’s great to give DonorsChoose more exposure!
