Help Us Give Back!
This year, Apartment Therapy is celebrating the spirit of giving by partnering with DonorsChoose.org for our 2011 Holiday Giveaway. Just as we're giving away something to you, you can give something back by helping us fund classroom projects around the country. Our goal is to get 500 people to donate to public school classrooms by December 16th!
AS AN AWESOME BONUS: If you donate to DonorsChoose.org through our Giving page (any amount!), you'll be entered into a drawing to win a House Tour feature on Apartment Therapy—your home, your style, photographed by us and shared with our readers. Not into sharing your home? You can also gift that feature to a very worthy friend or relative! 'Tis the season for giving, after all.
SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS: Still haven't donated through DonorsChoose.org? Give any amount now through our Giving Page and you'll be eligible to win one of three Generation Chairs by Knoll (worth $840 each) - the first chair that lets you sit how you want.

Help out my school! I am a special education teacher in one of the highest need schools in my district. You will never understand how even the smallest donation can really impact our children! http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=632487#materials
I think this is wonderful. If I wasn't an unemployed teacher (not receiving unemployment benefits) I just might help you out. I still might. Very noble of you AT!!!!
Come on!
If everyone who entered the Holiday Giveaway gave $5.00 it would make all the difference.
This is amazing! You should also think about funding other classrooms that are in just as much need in Catholic, Magnet and Charter schools through adoptaclassroom.org and iloveschools.com who are not able to post their needs on Donor Choose
Yes! Thank you! More posts like this please.
More giving less consumption!
Thank You!!! I just made some donations to this most excellent site (I've done so before, but this was a timely reminder).
Check it out - many of the projects are backed by matching offers. You can also search according to grades, categories (special needs students, military children, etc.). Something for everyone. :)
Charter and magnet schools CAN participate on donorschoose.org. For profit groups cannot.
