GlassBooth

A while back we blogged DonorsChoose.org - an online model for teachers to fundraise around classroom needs. Now I introduce you to the Generation Project - founded by one of Glassbooth’s very own alumni.

The Generation Project revolutionizes educational philanthropy. Their hook is that they give donors creative control over gifts to high-need K-12 students. Instead of just writing a check, donors design gifts based on their personal passions and priorities: A musician might donate a set of instruments to a high school band, a military veteran might sponsor an essay contest on freedom, or a scientist might sponsor a summer internship for a young person at a lab or hospital.

The Generation Project needs your support. They are finalists for a $10,000 grant at Ideablob. Simply go to the site, register to vote, vote for the project and receive instant karma.

We have been getting a lot of feedback the last couple weeks, asking to see Libertarian candidate Bob Barr added to the site, and we couldn’t agree more. The Glassbooth crack research team has done extensive research on Mr. Barr in an effor to add him to the site. We are missing about 14 of Mr. Barr’s positions, and while the Barr campaign offered help to close this gap, they have not provided in weeks.

If you would like to see Mr. Barr on the site, please contact his campaign directly here and urge them to help.
