By now you've surely seen those ads with Scorsese and that "Lake Winnipesaukee" guy hawking the The Members Project at American Express. Cardmembers choose which project will receive up to $5 million dollars. That would be about 11,000 projects in classrooms! If you have an American Express card, please click on the link above and give a 5 star rating for project 5630. (We're not allowed to use the DonorsChoose name since the project is for "ideas" instead of "organizations.") Thanks!
DonorsChoose is a nonprofit organization that provides educational resources for public school classrooms. Donors can search through our website among the thousands of requests made by teachers for classroom supplies, art stuff, sports equipment, technology, books, etc. Once they find the one that speaks to them, they choose which project to fund (in whole or in part) with their donation. DonorsChoose buys the materials and ships them directly to the classroom, and donors receive a thank you package of letters from the students and photographs of the project.
Update: DonorsChoose has made the top 25! The semifinal round lasts until Sunday July 22nd. Please vote today!

Done.
One warning: you need to sign up for the Members Project in order to rate a project. Fortunately, it's quick and fairly painless.
