About > Enterprise 2.0 Supports Boston Public SchoolsEnterprise 2.0 Boston 2011 selected DonorsChoose.org as its event beneficiary in order to support math and science education in Boston District public schools, and a new generation of future IT visionaries and thought leaders. DonorsChoose.org is an online nonprofit that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need.
Thank you to Enterprise 2.0 attendees, exhibitors, community members and speakers who made donations and filled out evaluations forms. We couldn’t have done it without you.
DonorsChoose.org grew out of a Bronx high school where teachers experienced first-hand the scarcity of learning materials in our public schools.
Charles Best, then a social studies teacher, sensed that many people would like to help distressed public schools, but were frustrated by a lack of influence over their donations. He created DonorsChoose.org in 2000 so that individuals could connect directly with classrooms in need.
Our mission is to improve public education by empowering every teacher to be a change-maker and enabling any citizen to be a philanthropist.
Our vision is a nation where students in every community have the resources they need to learn.
