beeeees

i too am in awe of the generousity of us redditors, even though i participated in the donating! i hope we inspire others to do the same.

when donating, i was clicking around the site, and i did notice that some of the projects were centered around more of a "want" than a "need." for example, teachers asking for donations of a smartboard or other expensive and i would definitely say superfluous technology - do you have any kind of system to weed out projects like this when another teacher is asking for paper towels?

or do you really just let the "donors choose"?

someone mentioned their project didn't reach their goal in the amount of time - what percentage of projects fall into that category?

thanks for doing this AMA :)
