Funding Educators and Their Classrooms

I want to write about how wonderful it is that there are philanthropists who help out the everyday teachers and their classrooms everyday. For example, Mr & Mrs Bill Gates have funded many projects, notably in rural and urban areas to help high school students. These are areas that usually do not receive much funding because they are poor. By funding projects in areas such as these, they reach many students and may even lead one to become the next entrepreneur!

Companies like Disney, Panasonic, and HP also have grants that help the everyday teacher in his/her average classroom with programs such as the ones they are running on donor'schoose.org., where they will match funding for classroom projects. I am impressed that these companies care enough about our future to invest in it today via direct help to America's students and the teachers that teach them. Thank you all!
