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.
