Am I just being cynical but blindly funding every classroom project without oversight and due diligence may actually be a net-negative in the long term. Universally giving money does not solve problems. It takes the right causes and right people behind the causes to really improve things.

For perspective, Warren Buffett has donated $46 billion and Bill Gates has donated $18 billion to charities since 2000.
