BRIDGEPORT — Over 100 projects for Bridgeport Public Schools on DonorsChoose.org were funded Tuesday night. The 188 Bridgeport projects that were fully funded will support 125 teachers and total $132,759. And Bridgeport wasn’t the only lucky city or town. Every single classroom project request across the nation was funded last night by Ripple, a San Francisco-based technology company. The company donated $29 million. DonorsChoose.org was started by a Bronx public high school history teacher in 2000. The site was launched as a place for people to donate to teachers asking for books, supplies and other materials. Charles Best, the teacher who founded the site, and 11 of his colleagues posted the first requests on the site in 2000.
