Charles Best leads DonorsChoose.org, a nonprofit organization that provides a simple way to address educational inequity. At DonorsChoose.org, public school teachers create classroom project requests and donors can choose the projects they want to support.
Best launched the organization in 2000 out of a Bronx public high school where he taught History. Today, more than 60% of U.S. public schools have at least one teacher who has created a project request on DonorsChoose.org, and more than 1.5 million people have donated $275 million to classroom projects reaching 13 million students.
DonorsChoose.org is one of Oprah Winfrey's "Ultimate Favorite Things" and was featured on the cover of Fast Company as one of the "50 Most Innovative Companies in the World”.
For three years, FORTUNE magazine has named Best to its "40 under 40 hottest rising stars in business.” He's received the John F. Kennedy “New Frontier Award”, which honors young Americans who are changing their communities through public service, and the Jefferson Awards’ “S. Roger Horchow Award for Greatest Public Service by a Private Citizen”.
Best graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Yale College in 1998.
