An online fundraising campaign on DonorsChoose.org, is still running to fund the purchase of Google Chromebooks for art student use at Newtown Middle School.

Art teacher Leigh Anne Coles started the campaign and announced it Thursday, October 8. The goal is to raise $814 for four Chromebooks. Until October 12 DonorsChoose matched donations, dollar for dollar, and the full project is raising funds through January 27.

As described on the project’s website, the Chromebooks will be used in a “student only” resource center, where students with or without personal technology can access the internet to research and develop inspiration for art designs.

DonorsChoose, according to the website, is an online charity designed to raise money for projects for public school classrooms. When a project reaches its set funding goal, the materials are distributed to the school, according to the site. If a project does not reach its goal, donors are refunded their donations in the form of an account credit, which can be used to support a different project or to send the teacher with the original goal a DonorsChoose gift card.

The site also charges for processing fees and for providing the services, like postage and processing thank you letters from the classrooms with completed projects, according to the site. These charges are included in the total fundraising campaign.

According to DonorsChoose, the site is a 501(c)(3) charity, and donations are tax-deductible.
