From the founder of Craigslist, comes a new (to me) site based on charitable donations. Want to make an impact at a place of your choosing? Tired of donating to funds where you have no idea what the money is actually being used for? <a href=”http://www.donorschoose.org/” target=”_blank”>DonorsChoose.org</a> saves the day.<br/><br/>The site lists the reason the money is needed, the poverty level of the requesting school, the number of students impacted by your donation, and a extra slew of information to help you figure out where you want your donation to go.<br/><br/>It’s a pretty neat idea, but at the same time a bit depressing that teachers are having to use a tool such as this for BOOKS when we’re throwing away <a href=”http://www.democrats.org/a/p/the_real_cost_of_the_iraq_war_to_american_taxpayers.html” target=”_blank”>200+ million dollars per day to fight a war halfway across the world</a> (the $195mil/day on that site is the lowest number I could find). Yeah, someone at the top clearly has his head on straight.
