Okay, I figure that a lot of military families send their kids to schools that could really use a hand, not only for classroom projects, but also all kinds of basic supplies.

DonorsChoose helps out, where a teacher can list projects and the funding they need to proceed, and provides serious accountability per project. In low income schools, a "project" might be about getting enough supplies to last the year, and we don't want teachers paying that out of their way-too-low salaries.

My deal? Check out this link, and consider some contribution. I'll match each one. It's that simple.

You might recognize this as a continuation of a previous Stephen Colbert effort, and he's got something really good going with Jimmy Fallon, but I feel you should support the bigger nerd.
