Crowdfund A Needy Kid?s Education With Conway-Backed Wishbone.org

It's too common a story: smart, low-income kid can't find their academic passion, so they drop out of school. But now you can rewrite this tragic tale with the help of Wishbone.org, a philanthropy website launching today where you can crowdfund high-potential youngsters so they can afford inspiring after- and summer-school programs. Wishbone only accepts seriously motivated students and produces its own polished video interviews with them, so it's easy to find someone who'll really benefit from your donation. Started by an LA teacher who saw the problem first-hand, and backed by Ron Conway and the Kaufman Foundation for entrepreneurship, Wishbone has a high-leverage, accomplishable mission. It's not trying to start education programs, but rather bridge the gap between?existing ones and the kids that need them.?Years down the line it could be organizations like Wishbone that save tech from the talent crunch.
