Well, for what it's worth, in Texas our TIF (Technology Infrastructure Fund) 
receives my monthly "donation" each time I pay our cellular phone bill.  
It's clearly stated right there on the bill.  The TIF money will be paid 
out via grants to schools needing hardware and software -- I'm not sure 
about staff development, but probably that, too.
