Donorschoose.org lets public schoolteachers nationwide post information about classroom projects that need funding. “Requests range from finger paints for autistic students to netbooks so a chemistry class can access the Internet.” If you donate money, you’ll receive photos of projects being carried out, a cost report, and thanks.
Adoptaclassroom.org provides criteria for selecting an underserved classroom. Donors get an expense report, thank-you packages, and students’ artwork. “You can also support the students directly by visiting the classroom or chaperoning field trips.”
