Help Teachers Fund Classroom Projects

One of Oprah's favorite things for 2010 is "Donorschoose.org"

This is a REALLY terrific site that I think everyone should check out. This charity allows you to help schools by funding the projects that mean most to you (from science to literacy, and everything in between.) You can choose the school location and you can make sure your dollar(s) goes exactly where you want it.

Help a Homeless Veteran

The Veterans Administration estimates that more than 100,000 veterans are sleeping on the streets every given night of the year. Approximately 1.5 million veterans from World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Afghanistan, and Iraq are currently considered at risk of homelessness due to poverty and lack of support networks.

Every penny of your $25 donation  goes to help the homeless veterans and is 100% tax deductible

GreaterGood.org is using   The Hunger Site     to collect donations.

Project of the Month: Autism Insurance Reform Project

1 in 110 children have autissm

1 in 70 boys have autism

Autism therapy can cost families $50,000 per year or more, with no insurance reimbursement in most states!
Autism Speaks is dedicated to ending the common practice of insurance companies not covering autism related therapy. As a result of their effort, ten states now require insurance carriers to provide such coverage. But that means forty states do not. This must change. They are working state by state to help relieve autism’s enormous financial burden on families.
But they need your assistance.
