Donors Choose

DonorsChoose.org is a clever way to connect teachers and schools with sources of funding. The site has a straightforward project proposal for you to fill out, which then gets posted on the site. Potential donors can then search the site for the proposals they want to fund. It's a bit like ebay that connects shoppers with sellers except that DonorsChoose.org is connecting teachers and schools that need funding with donors that want to fund worthwhile projects. Some of the projects are very modest and only ask for a few hundred dollars. Some of the projects are much larger but either way it seems like a great place to start when looking for funding.
