I tied DonorsChoose.org, thinking that it was a long shot because I am not in a high poverty area but I was able to get 3 proposals funded. I got a laptop, markers, storage boxes, a presentation remote and a cart that I can use when I travel from room to room.

DonorsChoose.org is a great program! Before writing a proposal, be sure to visit the Donors Choose matching funds page for each State. This site will help you write your proposal in order to get up to 50% funded through corporate sponsors. Additionally, most schools who are not high-need have more parents who are willing to support the classroom. Linking your proposal to your facebook, your school website, PTA newsletters, etc will help your funding opportunities. Once it gets going, it is difficult to slow down.
