Donors Choose---final days

By palmd on October 26, 2009.

We have some very generous readers. We've managed to fully fund 12 out of 14 proposals from needy Michigan classrooms. We can probably pull off funding the final two projects this week, and although our readers have been quite generous in the size of individual gifts, I'd love to see a bunch of micro-gifts, in the 1-10 dollar range.

Remaining Projects

  1. A Story to Tell: The teacher is trying to get a lap top and printer for her kids. That's it. She's $148 $123 away from getting it.
  2. Inner City Soccer Team: Aside from the benefit of athletics, these kids are isolated in an economically and ethnically homogenous community and the teacher wants them to be exposed to a bit more of the world. $450 left to go.

There are other projects as well, but these are the final two of the 14 original Michigan classroom projects. We have a few days. Let's get some micro-moolah flowing.
