Donors Choose
Just yesterday I posted a link to Alibris book store's successful "buy a soldier a book" program and wondered if the same thing would work for schools or other groups. I just stumbled on a link at Howard Sherman's blog to a group that does indeed do something similar for schools: Donors Choose. My mom is a retired English teacher, so I know quite well how much she dipped into her own purse to supplement the school's spending. This site lets New York City teachers post the project they'd like to provide for their students and donors can decide which ones to contribute to. Among the current projects are "Making it Media with a Digital Camera," "Book Clubs," "Sixth Graders in Search of a TV/VCR," and "Water Analyzation Kits to Test the City Lakes and Streams."
