Donors Choose - www.donorschoose.org
DonorsChoose.org is a simple way to provide students in need with resources that our public schools often lack. At this not-for-profit web site, teachers from any public school in America can submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These ideas become classroom reality when concerned individuals, whom we call Citizen Philanthropists, choose projects to fund.

GreatSchools.net - www.GreatSchools.net
GreatSchools is an independent, nonprofit organization working to improve K-12 education by inspiring parents to get involved. We estimate that more than a third of the parents in K-12 households turn to us each year for help choosing schools, supporting their children's education and improving schools. GreatSchools provides comprehensive profiles for more than 120,000 schools nationwide, offering features that include exclusive K-12 school ratings, parent reviews, powerful search and compare tools, and helpful advice on a wide range of school-related and education topics. Our parent community offers the ability to connect with other parents to discuss school and parenting issues, seek advice, and fom groups around specific topics. We provide this information on our free Web site, GreatSchools.net, and through our free email newsletters thanks to the support of foundations and corporations that understand the importance of parent involvement in a child’s education.
