Donors Choose is a national, non-profit organization
designed to help teachers get needed supplies for their classrooms.
Teachers submit proposals to Donors Choose, and Donors Choose
reviews the requests and places them on their web site. At
this point, any individual in the world can search the database for
proposals they would like to fund in whole or in part.
Once the project is fully funded, Donors Choose ships the requested supplies directly to the teacher. The teacher sends a thank-you letter [through Donors Choose] to the donor who completed the funding on his/her proposal. In addition, the teacher sends thank-you letters from each student along with photos of the class using the donated supplies.
It's actually quite fun to see how this works!
Donors Choose has just opened their program to teachers in Tennessee. We encourage teachers in Gallatin and surrounding areas to submit proposals to Donors Choose!
