<br>
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.)<br>
<br>
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!<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
* Using social media to draw attention to and promote the fundraiser<br>
* Posting an item on a relevant website, like reddit, hackernews or slashdot<br>
* Putting an announcement up on the project website<br>
* Posting on your project mailing list<br>
* Adding a banner to the project website<br>
* Writing blogposts (we could even include this on Conservancy's site)<br>
* Recording a short video saying why you support Conservancy and asking others to do the same.<br>
* Emailing parts of the project's community that might be receptive to the ask<br>
<br>
Anything you can do to help us amplify the message about this match would be so appreciated!<br>
<br>
thanks!!<br>
