Donorschoose.org [30 Aug 2009|04:32pm] [ mood | optimistic ] I’m currently working with ontd_aian American Idol-focused offshoot of ohnotheydidnt, to generate donations for DonorsChoose for Adam Lambert Supports Education. For those who aren’t familiar with DonorsChoose, it’s a nonprofit website where any public school teacher can post a resource request for their students, and donors from all walks of life can choose the projects they want to support. Most of the schools on DonorsChoose are in moderate-to-high poverty areas, with a high number of students qualifying for free lunch programs. Many of these students are at risk. Teachers often spend their own money on supplies, but there's no way they can make up for the budget deficits that schools face. The projects we're funding at DonorsChoose are the types of projects that get kids interested, that allow them to excel and feel good about themselves. We're also letting these kids know that someone cares enough to want to help them succeed, something that might seem all too rare to many of them. So far our group has contributed over $25,000, with the challenge overall generating more than $67,000 in donations for public schoolchildren. We are the only livejournal based group in the competition and are composed of mostly younger members with limited disposable income, so we’re particularly proud of reaching our current total through the many small donations of whatever our members can spare. We’ve got three more weeks to go in this challenge. If anyone would be interested in helping us out by helping a great cause, we’d love to have you! You can donate to any project on our Giving Page if you’re interested. Donations as small as a single dollar are accepted and all donations go straight towards funding the project you choose. Even if you’re not interested in donating under ontd_ai, DonorsChoose is a great organization that can use all the donations it can get. Thank you so much for your time! post comment
