I have heard about teachers occasionally having some luck getting their special projects funded on this website. I was a bit skeptical at first, but my students have had several discussions in the last few weeks about carnivorous plants and so I decided to give it a try. Here is my site –http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=461490&chal… I have been completely blown away! At the time I am writing this, I only have 20 dollars more until my project is fully funded! Not bad for one week. I used the power of social media to spam everyone in my address book! Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and emails! I have a business selling my power points and materials online and I actually had another seller on the site give me $100 dollars! A family from Maryland who lived in Adams Center many years ago gave me money, of course my mom and some parents as well! I would encourage you if you have a project that you just can’t afford try out the site! Right now if it is environmentally focused Disney planets is offering to cover half! (pending approval of course) Give it a shot
