Ever wanted to donate to a charity or a cause and didn't because you were not exactly sure who your money would help or what it would be spent on? If those causes were education related, Donors Choose is the answer! Thousands of teachers have projects listed from every state. Everything is for their classroom. The teachers never see money and are only given the supplies that are listed in their project, so there is no fear of your hard earned money being used for anything but these amazing projects.
I, of course, have projects up and ready to be funded. One is for picture books to use in the classroom. Not just for my students to read, but for me to teach with. Starting any unit with a good book is sure to capture the attention of my 6 and 7 year olds. The other is for iPods in the classroom. I have a link at upper right hand side of this blog... it goes to my giving page. You just donate to it and the money goes to my projects.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Donors Choose is hosting a matching campaign from March 12-19. If you donate between these dates they will match whatever you donate! All you need is the matching code... which they haven't released yet. But as soon as they do, I will let everyone know so you can get double your impact for your donation.
If helping out a classroom and students wasn't enough, you also get a tax break. Every donation is tax deductible. Everyone wins! So, give $5, $10, $500...ha. It would be amazing to have both of my projects funded in the double matching week. I think we can do it!!!!
