Niall Kennedy…

My goal for the conference is to provide two days of intensive education about the current state of the widget industry and share best practices with the many new publishers entering the space. This year’s conference spans two days, October 15-16, covering both the business and implementation of widgets.

Give back to the community with the DonorsChoose widget. Allow your readers to pledge donations to schools to help fund needed class projects. You get to choose the project to help fund and you get this cool widget to display on your blog. As you can see, the widget displays the challenge amount, the percentage at which your blog stands and a ‘donate to my challenge’ button.

I happened to see this on TechCrunch and followed the link to see what it was about. Thats when I discovered that quite a few A list bloggers were utilizing this widget. Fred at A VC,(currently in the lead) Engadget, All Things Digital and others (DonorsChallenge Leader board)
DonorsChoose says…

DonorsChoose.org is a simple way to provide students in need with resources that our public schools often lack. At this not-for-profit web site, teachers submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These ideas become classroom reality when concerned individuals, whom we call Citizen Philanthropists, choose projects to fund.

Proposals range from “Magical Math Centers” ($200) to “Big Book Bonanza” ($320), to “Cooking Across the Curriculum” ($1,100). Any individual can search such proposals by areas of interest, learn about classroom needs, and choose to fund the project(s) they find most compelling. In completing a project, donors receive a feedback package of student photos and thank-you notes, and a teacher impact letter.
