DonorsChoose.org is an online platform that connects educators with donors to fund classroom projects. The organization was founded in 2000 by a group of educators who wanted to provide resources to schools with limited funding. DonorsChoose.org allows teachers to create project proposals for items such as books, art supplies, and science equipment. Donors can browse these proposals and choose to fund projects that align with their interests or values. Once a project reaches its funding goal, the teacher receives the materials and can implement the project in their classroom. DonorsChoose.org has raised over $1 billion for schools and has funded over 1.5 million projects. The organization has been praised for its transparency and impact, but it has also faced criticism for its reliance on donations and the potential for projects to be funded by donors with specific political or ideological agendas. Despite these challenges, DonorsChoose.org continues to be a valuable resource for educators and students in need.
