Donors Choose is a non-profit web site founded by Charles Best in 2000 to bring educational materials to schools in need by allowing donors to choose where funds go.
Teachers submit project ideas to the site along with materials needed. People called "Citizen Philanthropists" then donate money to the project of their choice. Once the money is donated and the project completed the donor will receive a package containing photos of the students along with thank-you notes and a letter from the teacher.
Some of the project ideas are: "Magical Math Centers" ($200), "Big Book Bonanza" ($320) and "Cooking Across the Curriculum" ($1,100). Each idea undergoes a thorough screening process to make sure that the teacher and idea meet requirements set forth by the site.
