Donors choose- for classrooms in need!

When Charles Best, a history teacher in the Bronx, started donor's choice, he had a revolutionary new idea! He knew that he and all his colleagues were spending their own money to fund special projects and sometimes to even provide simple supplies. I have found with my own community that when people have a chance to hear about my ideas, they want to help. With donors choice anyone can virtually own a classroom door and help a teacher! The program is free for teachers to use, and serves k-12 public schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, including public charter schools. Donors choice now serves k-12 public schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia including public charter schools. Donors choice makes it so easy to help classrooms in need. Public school teachers post classroom project requests which range from pencils for poetry to microscopes for mitochondria. According to the website, 70% of the projects are successfully funded.
