ABOUT DONORSCHOOSE.ORG
DonorsChoose is a simple way to fulfill needs and foster innovation in public schools. At www.DonorsChoose.org, teachers submit their best ideas for materials and experiences that their students need to learn. Any individual can search these projects, learn about classroom needs, and fund the project they find most compelling. In return, donors receive a feedback package of photographs, student thank-you notes, a teacher impact letter, and an expenditure report showing that their gift was spent as directed.

Results
Today, 17,000 teachers are using DonorsChoose.org to help their students. Citizen philanthropists from all 50 states and 10 foreign countries have funded more than 23,000 classroom projects at DonorsChoose.org, channeling over $11 million worth of books, art supplies, technology, and other resources to 510,000 students in low-income communities. DonorsChoose.org is currently open to schools in 3 cities and 9 states. This fall, our site will open to every public school in America. Recognition of DonorsChoose.org includes the Nonprofit Innovation Award given by Stanford Business School and Amazon.com, a Global Technology Laureate from the TECH Museum of Innovation and Microsoft, a Social Capitalist Award and selection by Ashoka. National media such as Oprah Winfrey and The New York Times have hailed DonorsChoose as “the future of philanthropy,” while BusinessWeek named DonorsChoose among the best of the Web 2.0 wave.
