Donor's Choose

Founded in 2000, DonorsChoose.org allows citizen philanthropists to fund specific project requests from teachers in U.S. public schools.

DonorsChoose.org validates the project request and purchases the resources for the teacher. To date, we have funded over 400,000 classroom projects to bring learning alive for students, providing more than 11 million children with books, technology, supplies, funding for field trips or class visitors, and other resources.

Little Kid's Rock

Little Kids Rock is a national nonprofit that is dedicated to unlocking children's inner music makers by revitalizing music education in public schools.

Little Kids Rock started as a schoolteacher's vision to give his students access to music education, while diminishing budgets for the arts made that increasingly difficult to do. What began as a single after-school guitar class has since exploded into a national movement that now brings free, weekly music lessons to nearly 200,000 public school children, through the efforts of more than 1,500 teachers volunteering in 29 cities nationwide. To date, Little Kids Rock has served more than 400,000 students.
