Stephen Colbert, a long time supporter of DonorsChoose.org and host of The Colbert Report, has announced that he will join our Board of Directors.
You may recall that Colbert first partnered with DonorsChoose.org last year, after announcing his entrance into the South Carolina Presidential Primary. Teaming up with DonorsChoose.org, his viewers were encouraged to support the organization in lieu of actual donations to his candidacy. Termed “VotersChoose,” DonorsChoose.org received over $68,000 in donations for “Colbert For President.” The response was so impressive that several months later, he invited supporters of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to do the same. As a lead-up to the Pennsylvania primary, he created a “philanthropic straw poll that makes a difference,” where individuals could donate to Pennsylvania classroom projects in honor of their favorite candidate. This time, his supporters inspired over $185,000 in donations. Adding further awareness to the needs of Pennsylvania classrooms via DonorsChoose.org, Colbert even featured student artwork on his show, The Colbert Report.
All told, the Colbert Nation has provided books, art supplies, field trips, and other resources to 61,000 students in low-income communities!
Asked recently about his decision to join the DonorsChoose.org Board, he noted, “DonorsChoose.org allows anyone who wants to help children learn to make a donation directly to a specific classroom; As I endeavor to protect our nation from bears, DonorsChoose.org is protecting public school kids from classrooms that lack books, art supplies, technology, and field trips. I’m honored to join the DonorsChoose.org Board of Directors – there aren’t any bears on it, right?”

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
