Have you ever wondered how you can donate some money to a school and know that it really gets into the hands of a teacher doing good work with kids? DonorsChoose.org can help.

Teachers across America post about a classroom project and what they need to make it happen.  requests include everything from microscopes to instruments. Donors go to the site, pick a project that interests them, and donate through a secure link. Donors get a cost report showing how their money was spent, pictures of the project in action, and a thank you note from the teacher.  Donors who give over $100 may also get thank you notes from students.

You can give any amount (as little as $1.00 or as much as…well, millions of dollars!) and know that your cash is making a difference for youth.  The folks at DonorsChoose.org call it “citizen philanthropy.”  I call it a great way to make a difference.

Oh, I almost forgot.  If you’re a teacher looking for some supplies to make a classroom project work, visit the site, sign up, and enter your project. Then come back here to grantgoddess.com and we’ll help you get the word out to prospective donors.
