Fund classroom projects
Helps kids learn by buying them the classroom supplies they need through Donorschoose.org, a charity that matches teacher requests with "citizen philanthropists." You can search for requests by subject, cost to complete, grade, type of resource, region or type of school.
A science teacher at John Burroughs Middle School in Los Angeles made this request for an LCD projector. "In the classroom, it's never enough for a teacher to stand in front of the room and go over content. Number one, students don't want to hear us go on all period- they want to see stuff, cool stuff! Secondly, we all have different styles of learning and its only fair to provide images to those who learn visually. Help me to bring Jupiter, Betelgeuse, and Antares into my room. You'll allow me to provide images to my students that they'll never forget! "
