How To Use The Web To Help Students In Need

Imagine a Web site that makes it easy for you to find and fund projects that help needy students. That's exactly the idea behind a not-for-profit site called DonorsChoose.org.

It works like this: teachers post projects that they need funding for-projects intended to enrich the learning experience of their students. Then, you come along and visit the site to search for projects you'd like to sponsor-you can search by subject, region, or other criteria.

Find a project you like? You'll have the opportunity to fund all or part of it through a variety of payment options. What's more, after you've sponsored a project you'll even receive thank-you notes from the students who've benefited from your generosity!

Check out DonorsChoose.org to learn more about how you can make a difference by helping teachers help their students!
