Background
DonorsChoose.org grew out of a Bronx high school where teachers
experienced first-hand the scarcity of learning materials in our public
schools. Charles Best, then a social studies teacher, sensed that many
people would like to help distressed public schools, but were
frustrated by a lack of influence over their donations. He created
DonorsChoose.org in 2000 so that individuals could connect directly
with classrooms in need. Public school teachers from every corner of
America post classroom project requests for funding on
DonorsChoose.org. Requests range from pencils for a poetry writing
unit, to violins for a school recital, to microscope slides for a
biology class. Just like on Kickstarter.com, people can browse project
requests and give any amount of money to the project of their choosing.
Once a project reaches its funding goal, materials are delivered to the
school. This incredible organization is in need of rich media to serve
not only as a tutorial and explanation of what they do, but also as a
tool to raise awareness and attract new philanthropists to
DonorsChoose.org.
