Choose

on their Web site, asking for anything from a new library, to First
Aid mannequins, to a new playground. Access their proposals and
fund them, partially or in full. The school then buys the materials
which you funded, and sends you a receipt, photographs of how the
project materialized and thank you notes from the students benefitting
from your gift.
