Donors Choose

When teacher Charles Best was photocopying Little House on the Prairie so everyone in his class could have a copy, he realized how useful it would be to have a way to connect donors with teachers and classrooms lacking resources. So he created Donors Choose, an online site that lists teacher requests for their classrooms and has fulfilled more than 2.5 million requests. Donors can read through requests and choose the school, class and project they want to help fund with donations as small as $1.
