STEPHEN COLBERT: Microphone recorder, mic stand base. Okay. Here we go. ​ REID HOFFMAN: Stephen Colbert is the kind of guy who always has a goal. Currently, his goal ​ is to set up the microphone we sent him for our interview. It arrives in a serious-looking pelican case. COLBERT: It looks like I've just been given the nuclear football. ​ HOFFMAN: Although daunting for some, Stephen is now accustomed to being his own ​ production team, thanks to 3 months of filming at home during quarantine. COLBERT: It looks like that goes in there. ​ HOFFMAN: He also knows that to achieve any goal, you have to start somewhere. In this case, ​ start screwing in the mic stand… COLBERT: There you go. That's it? Woo! ​ HOFFMAN: Almost there... ​ COLBERT: Reading and are we rolling? Yeah. Six, seven, eight. And… magic. ​ HOFFMAN: Sound quality now higher than your average Zoom call. Goal: achieved. ​ ​ ​ COLBERT: Look at that. Put me in, coach. ​ HOFFMAN: But that was nothing compared to the goal Stephen took in 2007, possibly the most ​ daunting goal there is. He ran for president of the United States. COLBERT: I believe the first reason I decided to run was because I showed up in a poll. ​ And in the poll I was beating Joe Biden. HOFFMAN: At the time, Stephen wasn’t the host of a late-night talk show. He was the fake host ​ of a fake talk show, as he reminds us.

  • Yale SOM Case 09-023 Donorschoose.Org
    yale case 09-023 may 1, 2009 DonorsChoose.org An Innovative Internet Philanthropy Goes National Anna Blanding1 Jennifer Stredler2 Kim Su3 Ivy Washington4. Sharon Oster5 Jaan Elias6 Andrea R. Nagy7 In 2000, Charles Best (Yale College ’98), a social studies teacher at an alternative public high school in the South Bronx, found himself frustrated because his school did not have access to many of the resources available in other New York City public schools. Best and his colleagues were able to secure basic materials, but they were unable to bring many creative classroom projects to fruition, because they lacked financial support. Best believed that there were many people who would be willing to fund small projects that quickly improved classroom performance and educational opportunities; however, the challenge was to connect donors with appropriate projects. In an attempt to solve this problem, Best founded DonorsChoose.org, a website that would match donors directly with New York City public school teachers who needed funding for classroom materials and activities. Simple in its conception, the DonorsChoose.org model actually required a number of systems to insure that teachers posted good projects, that donors could easily choose among projects, and that a link was forged between the donors and students. Best believed that this direct link between donors and classrooms would address “the scarcity and inequitable distribution of learning materials and experiences in our public schools.”8 After an auspicious start, Best and DonorsChoose.org set their sights on growing beyond New York City. The organization received national publicity and won a prestigious non-profit strategy award.

  • Donorschoose.Org: How Technology Facilitated a New Funding Model
    CASE: SI-128 DATE: 9/14/15 DONORSCHOOSE.ORG: HOW TECHNOLOGY FACILITATED A NEW FUNDING MODEL My colleagues and I were spending our own money on books and pencils and other school supplies, and we were talking about field trips we wanted to take our students on or science experiments that required a microscope. My thinking was that there must be people out there who 1 would want to help teachers like us if they could see exactly where their money was going. —Charles Best, Founder and CEO, DonorsChoose.org In 2000, Charles Best, a social studies teacher working in a school in the Bronx, New York, scraped together $2,000 to pay an overseas web designer to build a rudimentary website he had designed using pencil and paper. On the website, teachers could post projects that needed funding—from books and paints to field trips and educational software—and individuals could donate towards those requests. By 2014, half of the public and charter schools in the United States had at least one teacher who had used the DonorsChoose.org website,2 more than 10 million students had received classroom supplies, and more than 1.4 million donors had contributed funds to providing these supplies.3 Over time, the organization also found itself with a powerful tool at its disposal—vast troves of data that could be analyzed to provide insights into everything from teaching methods to core education funding needs. “This was one of the breed of start-ups that is scratching a personal itch,” explained Best. “And the solution just started to grow beyond that particular itch.” 1 Interview with Charles Best, founder and CEO of DonorsChoose, August 2014.

  • Class Acts Donorschoose.Com Matches Charitable Givers with Classrooms to Ensure Teachers and Students Get the Supplies They Need
    SAVE THIS | EMAIL THIS | Close Today is Monday, February 12, 2007 Originally published Saturday, February 10, 2007 Updated Friday, February 09, 2007 Class acts DonorsChoose.com matches charitable givers with classrooms to ensure teachers and students get the supplies they need. By Melissa Heckscher STAFF WRITER A few dozen boxes of multicolored modeling clay doesn't seem like much. But what doesn't seem like much costs more than $800 -- money that third-grade teacher Julie Denby didn't have. "If we were to beg for the clay and we were to get it, the money would come away from other parts of education, like our after-school programs, " said Denby, a teacher at Barton Hill Elementary School in San Pedro. "It's a balance." If she could get it, the clay would be used so her students could pound, roll and shape their own models of the Earth -- inner core, outer core, mantle and all -- with five colors to represent the planet's varying layers. And though in the past she had emptied her own pockets to buy the sort of supplies her school administration couldn't cover -- small things including binders, pens, pencils -- Denby couldn't afford this. So she asked for help. Logging on to www.DonorsChoose.com, a Web site connecting classrooms in need with people who want to help them, Denby requested enough clay so that all 60 Barton Hill third-graders could build their very own planet Earths. And within a few months, her request was funded by a single donor. "We told the students, 'This is one person who donated all of this clay,' " said George Russell, another third-grade teacher at Barton Hill.
