Campaigns That Have Made a Difference (Ad Council)
http://www.adcouncil.org/campaigns/historic_campaigns/
For more than 60 years, the Ad Council has developed hundreds of public
service advertising campaigns. The selected Public Service Announcements
(PSAs) highlighted in the Historic Campaigns section have made a
measurable difference in our society. There is some data in the Research
section; but the campaigns themselves are fascinating and also include
statistical info. Some ads have accompanying video clips and graphics.

iLoveSchools.com
http://www.iloveschools.com/index.php
iLoveSchools.com is a free matchmaking service – for education! School
teachers request materials and supplies while school supporters search
for a school in need of their gifts of money, new or used goods or other
educational supplies. Supporters can search by school name, location,
requested item or economic profile to find the school most in need.
Supporters also can register their favorite schools to receive instant
notification of any requests made. iLoveSchools.com supports any
institution that educates children, including pre-schools, home schools
and private schools, as well as over 95,000 public schools already in
our database. A really neat idea!
