December is a time for giving, and I’m sure charities of all causes are asking for your donations.
However, I wanted to highlight again DonorsChoose.org, a charity that I have been supporting for many years.
About DonorsChoose
DonorsChoose.org is a website where public school teachers post projects that need funding, and individual donors like you and me contribute to the projects we want to fulfill.
It’s like Kickstarter or GoFundMe for school projects, except DonorsChoose.org is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, so your donations are tax-deductible. Also, DonorsChoose.org has been operating since 2000, well before there were crowdfunding websites of all stripes.
What is great about DonorsChoose.org is that you can directly see the impact of your gift on the individual lives of children. Many charities have an overarching vision or mission, but how your charitable dollars are actually spent is usually at the discretion of the charity.
Teachers from every public school in America are eligible to post a project and request funding from individual donors. If a friend or family member is a public school teacher, they’ve probably either posted a project or heard about a fellow teacher posting a project.
Choosing A School Project
With DonorsChoose.org, you get to select the school projects that are most important to you.
You can select a project based on location. You can focus on schools near where you live, or schools across the country. You could even select projects from the schools you attended as a child.
You can choose projects based on subject. There are projects that help inner-city students learn robotics or raise butterflies. There are requests for crayons or books. There are even projects that help students learn personal finance!
With over 75,000 projects to choose from, there’s sure to be a project that will interest you.
DonorsChoose.org has a range of corporate sponsors that will match your donation for certain projects. Donating to projects with a corporate match can help your charitable dollars make go even further.
Impact
One of the most fulfilling aspects of charitable giving is seeing the impact your donations have on people in need.
With DonorsChoose, if you make an eligible donation, you’ll receive a thank-you package from the teacher and students. The thank-you package will typically include pictures of the students using the donated materials and handwritten thank-you notes. It’s a nice way to see the impact of your donation on the lives of students.
DonorsChoose Financials
DonorsChoose gets the highest rating from charity monitoring groups such as Charity Watch, Charity Navigator and Guidestar.
They post all of their recent financial statements on their website to the public. For example, FY 2017, they received over $96 million in donations for classroom projects, an increase from $85 million from FY 2016.
With every project, you can see exactly how your dollars are being used to fulfill the project. Of course, there’s the cost of the materials. But each project itemizes other costs of the request as well, which can include sales tax, 3rd party payment processing fees, and fulfillment labor and materials.
In addition, there is an optional 15% donation to support DonorsChoose.org, which gets used for teacher outreach, website improvements, and other overhead costs. You have the option to reduce or completely opt-out from this donation if you want 100% of your money to directly assist in the fulfillment of your chosen project.
Conclusion
DonorsChoose.org is a great charitable organization that helps small donors like you and me feel like philanthropists. You get to pick and choose the schools and projects that you want to impact. I hope you’ll consider a donation to a project on DonorsChoose.org this holiday season.
What do you think? Have you ever donated to a project on DonorsChoose.org? Do you know a teacher that have had projects fulfilled on the website?
I love this charity.
I pick local schools and projects. I feel that school and books and learning helped me get out of poverty and build a life. This is a great way to give back.
I get a thank-you note from the teacher and from the kids with a picture of any books that my giving allowed. It feels great to share.
Also, I have given this as a gift. For those on your list who has everything and value teaching, consider this as a gift. You can make a donation. Then send the amount to someone as a gift. That way they can choose the specific charity. It makes for a great way to give. Win, Win, Win all around.

I had all my cryptos saved in a digital wallet for years. When I upgraded to a new device, trying to log into my wallet on the new device proved abortive. I couldn’t access the funds in my wallet until I reached out to these tech gurus online and explained the state of things to me. I don’t need to write much about these hackers because this testimonial shows that those guys are experts in their crafts. Thank goodness these guys came to the rescue. Within hours, the problem was resolved and I’m now able to access my wallet again. They taught me how not to lose my wallet and guided me about Bitcoin Investment and mining BOTs.

It would be morally wrong for me, not to share my sad investment experience and my happy ending. I am a private person so I will keep my review brief. There are a lot of people who have or are suffering from fraudulent crypto scammers. I was there too but after my encounter with Cyber Genie Hack Pro, they made sure I had a happy ending ensuring they recovered my stolen cryptocurrency. I never thought recovering stolen cryptocurrency was a myth or another means for scammers to rip you off until I met Cyber Genie Hack Pro. They are the miracle I have been praying for since the day I realized I had been conned of my hard-earned crypto tokens. They can be reached via:
