December is the time for giving, what with all the holiday traditions and season of giving. The problems can be that the monies donated to large charities do not always go where they should. That can be frustrating. Others want their money to stay in the city, county, state or even the United States.
How about donating to a classroom? Teachers are always in need for certain books, supplies, software and other educational tools that the school may not able to afford. Teachers always buy things for their classrooms out of their own pockets, but sometimes these expenses can be too great.
DonorsChoose.org allows you, dear reader, to go online and find a classroom that needs you. From the site: “Teachers submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These ideas become classroom reality when concerned individuals, whom we call Citizen Philanthropists, choose projects to fund.” You choose the project and your own price range.
How cool is that? You can help a classroom out. If I were the teacher, I would enjoy connecting with the donor to help the children understand the importance of giving. Maybe send the donor a photo of the items(s) being used and a link to my classroom website where they can keep in touch if they like.
