WARNING to bidders ... many bids placed in the last minute never register because Listia's servers can get overwhelmed and slow down. If you want something PLEASE place your bid at LEAST two minutes before the auction end--before it's too late!
Check this out: http://www.donorschoose.org -- lets you donate to classrooms across the country. Your gifts are tax deductible and they send the information in Jan for your taxes (i.e. you don't have to keep track yourself). Teachers request funding for specific supplies for their classrooms -- lets teachers think of a neat project and get funding for the supplies--and if YOU are a teacher, it would let you make donations to your own project and at least get a tax credit ... since so many teachers spend their own money on classroom supplies anyway!
Just kinda neat if you want to check it out ... look for projects in your home area, or for those for the neediest kids and schools!
