Hi project representatives!

As some of you may know, we're in the process of fundraising for general
conservancy donations - so we can raise extra money to help you! (The 10%
from our member projects together doesn't fund more than one person +
overhead, but our projects' needs are much more significant than that -
we're in a constant dead run to get everything done with our lean staff of
four.)

An anonymous donor has challenged us to sign up 150 Supporters in just one
week, which expires on Monday. We've had a slow start, but I'm confident
that with your help we can do it!

Please help us promote this by whatever means you are comfortable with.
Things that our member projects have done in the past that have helped us
immensely:

* Using social media to draw attention to and promote the fundraiser
* Posting an item on a relevant website, like reddit, hackernews or slashdot
* Putting an announcement up on the project website
* Posting on your project mailing list
* Adding a banner to the project website
* Writing blogposts (we could even include this on Conservancy's site)
* Recording a short video saying why you support Conservancy and asking
others to do the same.
* Emailing parts of the project's community that might be receptive to the
ask

Anything you can do to help us amplify the message about this match would
be so appreciated!

thanks!!
karen
