Donorschoose is good for books.
Another option, requires asking around, is to see if your school has a School Advisory Committee, or SAC fund. Might be known under a different name at your site. Essentially, you write a proposal/idea for a grant, justifying your request (usually this means tying it into the school mission or goals of the School Improvement Plan). I recently managed to score about $1000 worth of a variety of scripts, through writing a reasonable and justifiable request.
Don, I bought Humbletown, among others in that grant, so there's some sales back. :)

Subject: Class Sets of Scripts
Does anyone know of a grant or publishing companies that work with schools that want to purchase a class set of a script? I would really like to have 2-3 plays that I can use in my classes. The problem is that I need 35 copies of each script. That would be a huge cost. My students don't have the money to purchase them and I have no funds to purchase scripts for my class. I will need to fundraise to purchase these.
Thoughts?
