Remember last month when DonorsChoose was up for the American Express Members Project? Well, we made the Top 50! Which means it's time to go back and vote! You can help put $1 million dollars (or more!) into the public schools.
This is the quarter-final round, which means that even if you voted before, you get to vote again. The top 25 will advance to the semi-finals. Here is a PDF with instructions on how to register and vote if you have an American Express card. You can vote on one project per voting elimination round, and this round ends on July 15th.
Thanks for your help!
Update: DonorsChoose has made the top 25! The semifinal round lasts until Sunday July 22nd. Please vote today!
Update: Frank suggested I say what DonorsChoose is for those of you who don't know me directly. 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 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 2: Thanks to pesky', Big Ink, RNWA, House Arrest, and Keywords for helping to spread the word!
Update 3: DonorsChoose has made the top 25! The semifinal round lasts until Sunday July 22nd. Please vote today!
Mike, you should add some info to this post - - a short description of what Donors Choose is, a link to the site in a new window, and so on... There's nothing here which says what Donors Choose is.
Comment #1 :: link :: July 6, 2007 10:37 PM :: homepageGood point - I noticed that many entries had limited, if any, info, beyond a short blurb. Is that due to AmEx constraints? If so, seems like a lousy way to involve us ignorant masses. If not, then I second Frank - seems like you're strongest point is the details, why not offer some up about DonorsChoose?
Comment #2 :: link :: July 9, 2007 2:40 PMYeah, they restrict what we can say, what pictures we can upload (which is why we only have one), etc. Kind of a pain. But people (or rather, "cardmembers") can write testimonials about how wonderful they think we are...
Comment #3 :: link :: July 9, 2007 3:56 PMI noticed in Charles' description of how to donate and yours also, that both of you left off the fact that you can fund all or part of a project. I think that's pretty important to those of us who want to give, say $25 or $50 toward something. That would be a big selling point.
