I just read about this site called DONORSCHOOSE.ORG,and I think it's brilliant for getting teachers the funding their particular projects need.
Just look at the Donor's Choose List of States in the attached picture from their site. Hopefully more states will be added.
In the meantime, the one on there about Hurricane Katrina destroying computers seems really worthwhile. This is exactly the way Sisters in Service convinced me to donate to build a school in Africa.
People give more when we can see what our money is helping.
God bless DonorsChoose.org!
I hope they get lots and lots of funding.
Teachers who want to get their projects listed on DonorsChoose.org should check out these terms I saw on DonorsChoose.org:
Teacher User Agreement
Thank you for your interest in submitting a proposal for a DonorsChooseSM project.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. This is a legal agreement binding on you and DonorsChoose, Inc. (“DC,” “us,” “ourselves” or “we”) regarding use of the DC website ("Site"). By clicking the “I Agree” button at the bottom of this page, you agree to the terms and conditions of this User Agreement, including the Web Site Terms of Use. If you do not agree to this User Agreement or to the Terms of Use, you should click “I Do Not Agree” and exit this Site.
At DC, we strive to protect the rights of our donors, the students and teachers we serve and ourselves. We look forward to working with you in funding eligible projects.
A. Your General Responsibilities
By submitting a proposal, you promise that: you are a licensed teacher, librarian, guidance counselor, coach or other public school employee directly serving students (click here for our eligibility guidelines) currently employed at the school you note; the activity you propose is legal and falls within the standards of your board of education; all information you provide to DonorsChoose is accurate, and you will promptly update the information to keep it accurate; any proposals you submit are solely for you and your class and are not on behalf of any other teacher or class; you have full rights to any ideas, descriptions and materials you submit to DC, and that you (and not DC) are solely responsible for such submission, including its legality and appropriateness, and that all such materials are your original creations and use by DC will not infringe on any rights of any third party. You will be responsible for the use of your user ID and password for access to teacher-restricted portions of the Site, and shall not share your ID and password with anyone else. You agree to exit from your account at the end of each session and to immediately notify DC of any unauthorized use of your password or account.
B. Rights You Grant to DC
While you retain ownership in the works you create such as the proposal submissions (except for the photographs you take - please see below), as to all information or materials created by you and communicated or submitted to DC through this Site and all materials (except for the photographs) which you send to DC after the completion of the project, you hereby grant to DC a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid and fully sublicensable license to use the submission and project materials, and portions thereof, in furtherance of DC's purposes and activities and to promote DC and its programs, in any medium, and DC may copy, publish, display, create derivative works and make other uses of the submission and project materials (in whole or in part) and license others to do the same, for DC’s purposes, whether or not your proposal is funded.
C. Your Responsibilities Should Your Proposal Be Funded
If your proposal is approved by DC (in DC's sole discretion), posted on the Site and funded, you agree to use the materials or funds received solely as stated in the proposal and in a manner directed by DC. You agree that requested resources will be used by students or to provide a student experience as described in your proposal. You agree to provide each child who will engage in the activity with a DC Permission Slip as provided by DC, and to exert reasonable efforts to ensure that each child returns the Permission Slip signed by their parent or legal guardian. Regardless of how many activities DC funds for your class each school year, only one permission slip per student per school year per teacher need be collected. You will make a reasonable effort to take photos of students who have returned a signed DC Permission Slip and shall provide each signed Permission Slip to DC upon request. You agree that only students who have provided signed Permission Slips will be included in photographs regarding the activity. You will use DC’s funds and materials only for the project DC has approved, and agree to follow all other instructions as provided or directed by DC regarding the funded activity. You understand that the promptness and thoroughness with which you return the photographs and thank-you notes may effect how many proposals you are allowed to submit in the future. Please see How Points are Earned and Benefits Gained.

You agree to indemnify and hold DC, its officers, agents, advisors, directors, employees and consultants, harmless from and against any and all claims, causes, actions, damages or penalties arising out of your breach of your obligations under this User Agreement.
E. Disclaimers
DC will not be required to treat any Submission or Project Materials as confidential. Teacher's sole remedy for any breach of this User Agreement is to terminate this User Agreement and stop using the Site and any DC services or resources. In no event shall DC or any officers, agents, advisors, directors, employees or consultants of DC be responsible to Teacher for any claims or damages whatsoever arising under this User Agreement, whether direct, indirect or consequential.
