PayPal has a back-to-school shopping project called "Make It Count" where retailers have banded together to offer smart deals for parents with school going children, offering discounts on merchandise that school children need, from clothing, sports wear, shoes, books, bags and other more expensive items like laptops, printers and even air tickets.
PayPal hopes that with the savings that parents get from shopping from their slew of merchants, they will then channel these funds to schools across America that are in need of aide, no thanks to budget cuts.
I visited the website where parents could support a classroom project at DonorsChoose.org. There are more than ten thousand listed. I think it's an excellent initiatve. It looks like some projects managed to take off thanks to donations from the public. If only this is available in more countries!
