Give to a Teacher, Reach a Classroom: School Kids Need Your Help This Holiday Season

Holiday giving extended to school teachers across America. iLoveSchools.com links teachers with donors of sorely needed equipment, supplies and materials. 100% of donations go directly to the classroom.

(PRWEB) November 23, 2004 -- iLoveSchools.com is a web-based linking service that gives teachers the ability to request much-needed classroom equipment, supplies and materials, then seeks to find donors to help that teacher directly. This holiday season any individual or corporation can visit iLoveSchools.com to find one of many ways to help these teachers.

As of November 2004, nearly 17,000 teachers from all 50 states have registered at iLoveSchools.com for assistance. Teachers spend an average of $660 of their own money to purchase the items, according to a recent survey conducted with registered teachers. Further, a full 31% of these teachers did not receive any money from their school or school district for discretionary expenses such as for books, supplies and materials for their classroom.

Teachers request a range of items from computer equipment to boxes of markers and from textbooks to pillows for naptime. The website makes it easy to search by geographic area or requested item. Donors send the requested new or used item, or gifts of money for the teacher to make their purchase directly. 100% of a donor's contribution goes directly to the intended classroom. Most schools are not-for-profit institutions so donations can be tax deductible.

With over 100,000 schools in its database, everyone can help their alma mater or neighborhood school with a mouse click. Any visitor to the site can also register to receive email notification when the school of their choice, such as their elementary school, makes a request.

I Love Schools, Inc. was founded with the profits from eWebLab.com, a San Diego, California web design company specializing in business and eCommerce websites, as well as from a few private donors.
