Savings.com recently teamed up with DonorsChoose.org to help their staff, DealPros and members give back to the schools in their communities.  Public school teachers across the country post specific requests to support their classroom projects, ranging from pencils for a poetry writing unit, to violins for a school recital, to microscope slides for a biology class.  Visitors to the website decide which project they would like to support and DonorsChoose.org delivers materials to the school once a project reaches its funding goal.

Now through 2/24, use coupon code SAVINGS when you donate to a project, and DonorsChoose will match your donation, up to $100.  There’s a potential to raise up to $500,000 for schools during this campaign.

I wanted to support a school in my nearby community, so I chose to support a classroom that wanted to purchase non-fiction history books, both to help bring history to life and to help the students non-fiction literacy.  I loved history growing up, and I wanted to help bring that love to a classroom of middle-school students in Detroit.

It’s easy to find a project to support:

• Get local Use the Location filter to find projects in your state or hometown.
• Get inspired What are you passionate about? The environment? Water color painting? A book you’re reading? Narrow projects by subject area, or search for what you care about in the keyword box.
• Get choosy Sort your search results by cost, poverty level, or popularity…whatever matters most to you.

If you’re interested in supporting a classroom in need, now is the perfect time to make your tax-deductible gift – when you can double your donation with a match.
