Whether a student is 3 years old or 103, there are organizations which will help less well-off prospective students pay for their education. These various groups help fill the gap where government falls short. That is where the public, people like you, come in. Here are some facts about education and its support in the United States:

•    The difference between the money the poorest and the richest districts have to spend on education per child annually is over $1,000 per child.

•    Nevertheless, there is an excellent rate of young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 who have either a high school diploma or its equivalent alternative credential such as a General Educational Development (GED) certificate. In 2009 the rate was 90 percent.

•    Unfortunately, despite the excellent rate of finishing high school or getting a GED, over 70 percent of Americans between 18 and 24 years old cannot find New Jersey on a map, and 11 percent cannot even find the United States.

Charity Navigator is a website which helps people learn about institutions which require public support to operate successfully. With the aid received from generous people schools can afford basic items such as cafeteria tables and classroom chairs, and other equipment essential to the successful operation of any school. This website makes it easy to give to exactly the type of school you believe in, and wish to support.

Charities all over the world invest millions of dollars to support education in impoverished communities. Organizations focus on all aspects of education, including school buildings, school books and materials, and even teaching staff.

Another factor that can significantly influence learning is classroom furniture. The Furniture for Education Worldwide foundation is a national charity based in London which aims to send all extra furniture, including classroom chairs and tables, to deprived countries across the globe.

These furniture contributions have many advantages. Thousands of children are able to sit at desks instead of on pillows or concrete floors, providing them with more structured environments and the ability to focus on their studies in much better conditions.

Charities like these are also contributing to the environment by recycling and re-using old materials instead of sending them to landfills and polluting the atmosphere.
