One of my very favorite things about October is the DonorsChoose Social Media Challenge. All year long I look forward to encouraging EVERYONE to donate $1 or $5 or $10 or $1000 to a public education project.
It’s the easiest way to donate money for a good cause and never wonder whether your donation actually made a difference. You know it made a difference because the teachers and the kids will send you mail and tell you just what a difference your dollar made.
See the right side bar? That widget contains links to giving pages in major cities in the US. Pick your city or a city you’ve visited or one you’ve always wanted to visit, or do what I did and choose them all – and then donate your dollar(s).
Let’s get these projects funded. The sooner they’re funded, the sooner the kids can get started on their projects.
