STEPHEN COLBERT ANNOUNCES MAJOR GIFT
TO SOUTH CAROLINA TEACHERS
Comedian Stephen Colbert announced Thursday that he will be funding $800,000 in grants to public school teachers in his native South Carolina. The money will be used to fulfill all outstanding requests made by the state's teachers on the crowdfunding site DonorsChoose.org -- almost 1,000 projects in over 375 schools, Greenville Online reports.
On DonorsChoose.org, teachers list "projects" they'd like to have funded at their schools. They range from getting basic supplies in classrooms to more high-tech items such as laptops and iPads. In the requests Colbert has pledged to fund, teachers sought money for motivational posters, books with more diverse protagonists, tie-dye kits, musical instruments, gym equipment and, simply, pencils.
