To Infinity and Beyond! Help students soar!
Help students in need! No donation is too small.
As the new school year approaches, teachers and students everywhere are preparing for a wonderful, exciting, year of learning. They have butterflies in their stomachs, new lunchboxes in hand, and high hopes for the upcoming year.
Unfortunately, not every classroom is as well-equipped as others, and many teachers all across our area struggle to provide necessary resources for their students. Many children go to school each year without even the simplest of school supplies. Not every classroom is equipped with tablets and printers, or even necessary books to reach every student. If you have ever wanted to help bridge the learning gap, or make a difference in the lives of students and teachers, www.donorschoose.org is the way you can do that.
Every year teachers post projects to fund the purchase of supplies as basic as crayons, pencils and lined paper. Others seek funding for Science materials, or museum field trips that might otherwise be impossible for many students to attend. Each project is clearly itemized so donors can see exactly where their donation will go.

There are hundreds of teacher projects posted all the time. Simply log on to www.donorschoose.org. You can search for projects in high poverty areas, or choose to donate to a project that appeals to your love of Science or the Arts. Make a tax-deductible donation of any size you wish. No contribution is too small. Many organizations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation often offer dollar for dollar matching, so your donation will go twice as far.
