LFPL fundraiser extended: matching new donations up to $200
Wed 2 Sep 2009, 10:15 am
The deadline for the Library Society of the World Louisville Free Public Library Fundraiser came and went yesterday, and I was pretty silent about it.
Here’s the deal: we are at about $3,700 right now. There’s no way we are going to hit $5,000 and I’m mostly OK with that. But I’m still extending the fundraiser through Friday night in the hopes of reaching $4,000. And I think we will do it.
A donor that I am particularly fond of (namely my mom) has a challenge for us. She will match all donations we get between now and Friday night, up to $200 total. So every new donation is effectively doubled. If you can afford to donate $10, my mom will turn that into a $20 donation. If you can donate $50, it’s like you just donated $100.
Another reason I want to wait has to do with the incentives. I have forgotten to mention some of them here and only have half a plan on how to award them. But more about that later today. For now know that every dollar you donate from here on gets doubled up to $200 total. Here’s the button, you know what to do:
Posted to the LSW group on LinkedIn, hopefully a few new donations out of that.

Oh, thanks Steven. There are so many people there, but I’m not active on LinkedIn, so I tend to forget. And you have reminded me to put it on Twitter and Facebook.
