Donors Choose
Business
DonorsChoose is a nonprofit organization which facilitates support for education in the American public school system. Teachers can submit school project proposals on the website in any of the following categories: math & science, literacy & history, arts & music, physical education, field trips, and more. Individual donors, called Citizen Philanthropists, select which projects to fund, either partially or in full.
Once a Citizen Philanthropist chooses a school project to support, DonorsChoose delivers the requested resources to the school. The teacher documents the funded education project using a disposable camera (also provided by DonorsChoose), and sends back the camera with hand-written thank you notes from the students involved. DonorsChoose develops the project photos and sends them with an expenditure report, a letter from the teacher, as well as the students' thank you notes to the donor(s).

Note that these are the locations of the groups' headquarters, and not neccesarily where they do their work. A map of areas these groups work in would likely look very different.
