ClassWish.org helps attract financial support for classrooms
Posted: 4/30/2010 2:43:35 PM
ClassWish.org, a new nonprofit, provides teachers and schools a means to inspire and attract financial support from individuals and organizations in their communities:
- Teachers and school leaders visit ClassWish.org to create wish lists of the items they need to equip great classrooms, as easily as shopping online.
- Parents, alumni, neighbors, local businesses and others see exactly what is needed and how they can help.
- Visitors contribute online and, if they can afford it, might match their gift with one to a school with higher needs.
- Donations are tax-deductible, and ClassWish provides a receipt.
- Many companies match employees’ donations, which can double their funding.
- ClassWish has the items shipped directly to the schools at no cost to the school or teacher.
The result? Teachers and schools get the support they need. Parents and communities are engaged in supporting schools and funding the things they care most about. And everyone is united in helping children perform at their best.
