Donors Choose DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need. Here's how it works: public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project requests on DonorsChoose.org. Requests range from pencils for a poetry writing unit, to violins for a school recital, to microscope slides for a biology class. Then, you can browse project requests and give any amount to the one that inspires you. Once a project reaches its funding goal, we deliver the materials to the school. You'll get photos of your project taking place, a thank-you letter from the teacher, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. If you give over $100, you'll also receive hand-written thank-you letters from the students. At DonorsChoose.org, you can give as little as $1 and get the same level of choice, transparency, and feedback that is traditionally reserved for someone who gives millions. We call it "Citizen Philanthropy."

Social Enterprise Alliance Since its inception, SEA has served as North America's leading association for the field of social entrepreneurship. Our members are motivated above all else to improve society using the tools of business. During our existence, we have seen a radical positive shift in public interest in social entrepreneurship. Our ultimate vision is that one day, businesses created to advance a social mission comprise a significant portion of the total number of businesses started and operated. We see social enterprise as a primary engine for creating a more sustainable world that works to support all people, communities and the environment. Social enterprise has an important role to play in strategies for addressing a number of social and economic policy issues. SEA engages its community of established enterprises with a robust advocacy strategy to help policy-makers understand the importance of social enterprise as a tool for tackling key social challenges and to design relevant policies and initiatives. SEA also enlists supporters within the field, including funders, lenders, social capital investors, educators, researchers and technical assistance providers to engage in this vital agenda and to help us shape a conducive business and political climate in support of social enterprise.
Taproot Foundation Since our inception in 2001, the Taproot Foundation has worked to transform the nascent field of pro bono service into a national platform to leverage top talent in support of our communities' greatest needs. We are pursuing three strategies as we build the field of pro bono service - each designed to ensure that nonprofits have access to the professional services they need to fulfill their missions: "We do pro bono" Every year our award winning Service Grant program provides millions of dollars worth of pro bono marketing, HR, IT, and strategy management consulting services to nonprofits, helping them tackle our society's toughest challenges. "We enable others to do pro bono" We work to increase the capacity of the field by enabling others to manage pro bono service programs of their own. We provide consulting to companies like the Gap and Capital One to help them create world-class pro bono consulting programs for their employees at a low cost. "We inspire the pro bono ethic" We inspire the business community to engage in pro bono service through research, education, and convenings. By 2020, we strive to have all business professionals consider pro bono work an integrated and esteemed part of their careers.
Philanthropedia Philanthropedia, enables donors to support an entire social cause with one transaction and gives them access to information typically reserved for high-net-worth individuals and foundation staff. Their nonprofit mutual funds are created with the help of experts with an average of 10 years of experience in the nonprofit sector. Foundation professionals, academics, and nonprofit executives are asked to identify top charitable organizations and distribute a percentage of each donated dollar between them. Philanthropedia users can donate as little as $5 to support top nonprofits. Giving is made even easier because donors can donate to a mutual fund with just one transaction, rather than write a separate check to each organization, and donors can keep track of their tax-deductible receipts all in one place. Founded in 2009 and funded by the Hewlett Foundation, Philanthropedia’s mission is to use expert knowledge to help donors support the most innovative and effective nonprofits.
