I explain that, “Donors Choose is about getting teachers the resources they need to teach their kids…you can help them…and that’s pretty cool.” Let’s continue to allow Donors Choose to become a household name.

A little bit of what they have to say:

I appreciate it, and the deal is, I just want to help good people.
