<p>By all accounts the <a class="reference" href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/10/08/donorschoose-doing-well-but-fred-wilson-needs-to-be-stopped/" title="">DonorsChoose blogger challenge</a> is doing extremely well - it took them just six days to reach $130,000 in donations, which will provide nearly 10,000 students from low income families with books, art supplies, technology, and other resources they need to learn.</p>

I am a teacher who has personally been funded many proposals through Donors Choose and from the Chambers- Beck Family. This works and it is easy. I am so grateful for the generosity people throughout the past couple of years have shown by funding my proposals. Charles Best is a genius!</div>
