Got a blog? Help a student.
1 ottobre 2007
Posted by Josh Mendelsohn, Program Manager
When it comes to philanthropy, everyone’s got something different to give – some people have money, others have time, and bloggers have devoted readers. The creative folks at
DonorsChoose
have a few ideas about how bloggers can help students and teachers.
In case you’re not familiar with DonorsChoose, it’s a site where teachers post needs they have for their classrooms, and donors fund those projects directly. If you’ve got a blog, a website, or even an email account, you can help by creating what’s called a
challenge
. Just pick some of your favorite projects and challenge your family, friends, and readers to fund them. If you’ve got a Blogger account, it’s easy to add your challenge to your blog in just a few clicks.
To support their recent expansion to schools all across the U.S., the DonorsChoose team is holding a little competition,
keeping track
of which bloggers and webmasters drive the most funding to schools.
We think this is a cool idea, so we want to help it succeed. We’re going to reward the winning bloggers with exactly what they gave to DonorsChoose, students, and teachers: traffic. The competition will remain open until the end of October - we'll then take a look to see who has helped raise the most money in each of the eight DonorsChoose challenge categories. We’ll post links to the winners’ blogs here, and we’ll also throw in a $500 gift certificate for each winner to spend on DonorsChoose.
So here’s our challenge to you: go
create a challenge
on DonorsChoose.
