You don’t need to give hundreds of dollars to help (although if you can, don’t let us stop you).
Even five dollars can get a classroom project a little bit closer to happening in the three-dimensional world.
The warm fuzzies you’ll get from knowing you’ve helped are totally worth it.
If you can’t spare five bucks, we understand. The economy is bad. But maybe tell your friends and family members who can spare five bucks about DonorsChoose, or about one of the specific projects in the challenge, and see if they can help.  (That entitles you to a share of their warm fuzzies, right?)

I’d be honored if you chose my giving page to supply your warm fuzzies.
