There is a link to DonorsChoose on the left-hand side of this page; clicking it will take you to a current list of Richmond Public Schools support request. You may direct the Foundation to support a specific DonorsChoose initiative with your donation or, if you prefer, simply work directly with DonorsChoose through its web site.
