Stephen Colbert funds $800,000 in grants for South Carolina public school teachers

For those who don't click on links:

"Comedian Stephen Colbert announced Thursday that he would fund every existing grant request South Carolina public school teachers have made on the education crowdfunding website DonorsChoose.org.
Colbert made the announcement on a live video feed Thursday at a surprise event at Alexander Elementary School in Greenville.

Colbert partnered with Share Fair Nation and ScanSource to fund nearly 1,000 projects for more than 800 teachers at over 375 schools, totaling $800,000."

He makes a lot of money and shares some of it with grant writing teachers.

I hope it's contagious.

It's great to see something good happening for the students of South Carolina. I am reminded of the SC Supreme Court having to force then Gov. Sanford to accept the 2009 stimulus money for the schools.
