DonorsChoose.org was founded in 2000 by Charles Best, a social
studies teacher in New York. The organization has facilitated $23.9
million in donations to students nationwide, mainly in low-income
communities, according to its Web site.
The site requires teachers to submit proposals for items they need.
Once proposals are verified, they are posted for donations. There is no
limit on how much funding a teacher can request, but the site advises
that requests under $400 are more likely to be fulfilled. Once enough
money is donated, DonorsChoose.org purchases the materials and ships
them to the school. Teachers are required to photograph students using
the items, and the photos are sent to donors, along with thank-you
letters.
