Online resources: In 2000, Charles Best - a social studies teacher at an alternative public high school in the South Bronx - found himself frustrated because his school did not have access to many of the resources available in other New York City public schools. Best and his colleagues were able to secure basic materials, but they were unable to bring many creative classroom projects to fruition, because they lacked financial support. In an attempt to solve this problem, Best founded DonorsChoose.org, a website that would match donors directly with appropriate projects.
