Summary: |
Charles Best is a Bronx high school teacher with a big idea: DonorsChoose. In this ABC News program, Best talks with correspondent Michel Martin about his Web site where carefully reviewed curricular activities proposed by New York City public school teachers are posted for civic-minded citizens to fund. The beauty of this nonprofit business model is its low overhead: the teachers handle assessing the needs and designing the activities, while the donors play the role of treasurer, deciding for themselves which activities to fund. |
