DonorsChoose.org, Gates Foundation and Stephen Colbert Team Up to Support Teachers and Promote College Readiness for All

While many organizations raise funds for basic school supplies, the
DonorsChoose.org model supports specific classroom projects that are
submitted and designed by any public school teacher in the U.S. to further
defined educational goals. Under the "Double Your Impact" initiative, the
requests eligible for 50 percent funding from DonorsChoose.org through the
grant from the Gates Foundation are those that promote college-readiness.
Such projects include student trips to college campuses as well as
classroom books, SAT/ACT preparation materials, and other resources that
strengthen the learning experience.
