DonorsChoose.org

DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help public school students primarily in high poverty neighborhoods. Today’s public schools often lack resources for students to thrive. As a result, teachers are spending $1 billion from their own pockets each year on supplies. DonorsChoose.org makes it easy for any individual to address this inequity, one classroom at a time. “Citizen philanthropists” can fund specific project requests from teachers.

Here's how it works: public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project requests on DonorsChoose.org. CTAM WEST will review project requests and contribute up to $500 for each technology project to schools in underserved areas of the greater Bay Area and the Los Angeles Basin.
