Phenomenally late to the game, I've added a Donors Choose link to the blog. The idea here is that you pick a small microgrant to fund/help fund for a public K-12 classroom somewhere in the States. Requested funding ranges from hundreds to thousands of dollars. I love microfunding efforts like this, since many of them are in the low range, so you have a shot at contributing a significant chunk of something that will make a demonstrable difference in a classroom. I've set a (arbitrary, any spare change helps, etc.) goal of $10,000 (total, no one grant I have listed is nearly this much) for my "challenge," but the grants are dispersed individually - you pick whether you want to buy a chemistry set, or books, etc., for NOLA, NYC, etc.. If you see a proposal that seems good (or find something funny about one of the ones I've opted to list), leave a comment and I'll get on it. Thus ends the pitch, you won't hear (too much) about it in the future. The link (and thermometer) will remain on the sidebar indefinitely. Thanks for anything you have to offer. Hope you had a good Saturday night!
