DonorsChoose®

August 21, 2023

Every 2023 issue of The Reporter will provide an update on one of GBU Life’s (GBU) four Community Pillars—Wellness, Education, Charitable Giving and Hometown Hero Support. The summer 2023 issue focuses on “Education,” including opportunities to enrich your community through volunteering and fundraising.

Part 2: DonorsChoose®

How You Can Support Students and

Classrooms as a GBU Member

As a GBU member, you can contribute to supply needs in your local classrooms, wherever you live, through DonorsChoose.

DonorsChoose is one of the new charities that GBU is supporting through the One Member at a Time program. DonorsChoose enthusiastically describes its mission: “We make it easy for anyone to help a teacher in need, moving us closer to a nation where students in every community have the tools and experiences they need for a great education.”

As a crowdfunding platform, DonorsChoose vets all requests, purchases the supplies and sends them to the teacher once the funds have been raised. Donors receive thank you messages from the teacher.

Visit the DonorsChoose website (donorschoose.org), click “Find a classroom to support” and search by topics, teachers, schools and geographic locations.

You might be surprised what a neighborhood teacher may need! We encourage you and your fellow GBU members to donate and help teachers and students in your community!
