Ignite Raleigh 2 Encourages Donors Choose Donations

Posted by Jeff Cohen in Ignite Raleigh 2, News

Ignite Raleigh 2 is free for attendees thanks to our sponsors, however, as one of the initiatives of Global Ignite Week, we encourage you to make a donation to a local education project using Donors Choose. DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need.

Here’s how it works: public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project requests on DonorsChoose.org. Requests range from pencils for a poetry writing unit, to violins for a school recital, to microscope slides for a biology class.

Then, you can browse project requests and give any amount to the one that inspires you. Once a project reaches its funding goal, we deliver the materials to the school.

You’ll get photos of your project taking place, a thank-you letter from the teacher, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. If you give over $100, you’ll also receive hand-written thank-you letters from the students.

At DonorsChoose.org, you can give as little as $1 and get the same level of choice, transparency, and feedback that is traditionally reserved for someone who gives millions. We call it citizen philanthropy.

Browse projects submitted by local teachers in your county. This is a great way to support YOUR community.
