I am amazed at the wonderful donors in the world. There is a great website that allows teachers to post a project that they would like to be funded. This wonderful website then puts it out there in the great wide world and people who would like to support education can make monetary donations to specific projects. If in a certain amount of months the projects are funded then they are retired. This website is hugely confidential, no teacher names or student names are allowed in the description of the project. Although there is an option to look for a specific school in a specific district, so if you know the teachers at the school you could probably figure it out.
I first heard of this site four years ago, and I didn't want anything to do with it. Then, amazingly, I changed my mind. It started with just taking a look at the web page and sample projects. This led to, "just post something to see what happens." Then it is so thrilling to get an email stating some one has donated to your project, and then another donor, and another. The best part is that for technology projects there is a donor who automatically covers half of your cost. Sweetness!
Last week I got an email stating that my project had been partially funded!!! From someone local! Then a few hours later, literally, I received another email that a second donation was made, leaving only $17 to be donated!! I almost made that last donation myself, but there are limits to my credit, so I just let it hang out in that great abyss. Then the next day I had full funding for my project!!! this is soo cool!!! I don't have to share it with anyone, my cool HP All-in-one printer!! I can print off photos, color pages, and soo much more!!!
And the previous project I posted was funded within a week!! I am soo thankful for those generous donors who are willing to help me supplement my classroom needs!
