Got a blog? Help a student.

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
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
id="zf6h" >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,
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
a challenge on DonorsChoose.
