Donors Choose

I'm not a big fan of fund-raising.  But I also know I can always use extra resources.  I recently became involved with an organization called Donors Choose.  I'll let them speak for themselves and me--

DonorsChoose.org 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.
Then, you can browse project requests and give any amount to the one that inspires you. Once a project reaches its funding goal, we deliver the materials to the school.
You'll get photos of your project taking place, a thank-you letter from the teacher, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. If you give over $100, you'll also receive hand-written thank-you letters from the students.
At DonorsChoose.org, you 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. We call it citizen philanthropy.

I will be regularly posting grant requests on the Donors Choose website.    My first project request would enrich my rocketry curriculum. If you choose, you may donate any amount of money from a dollar on up.  Donations will go towards materials and projects that will help my students and your children become successful lifelong learners.
