With Back to School on our minds, I wanted to share with you this site for helping teachers in high poverty areas with getting the supplies they need. You can sort projects by region, subject area, urgency, grade, amount needed, etc.
I am thinking of finding one project in each of my three children's grades and funding a project in each of their favorite subject areas. The beauty of these type of sites is the donation doesn't need to be a large amount, but by each person realizing their small amount makes a difference, a large amount is suddenly raised. This is one of my favorite examples of how everyday philanthropy makes a difference.
