Hope you're doing as well as possible in these wild times!

Every year around Thanksgiving, my favorite giving project Blue Heart publishes a Giving Guide (2020 version here) to recommend specific places to donate money: important and amazing but less visible/less funded organizations which focus on long-term movement/power building for marginalized communities.

This year, we're offering a donation match with the Giving Guide so that any funds donated through the guide, up to a certain amount, will be doubled (!!!). This will also help us see how much money the Giving Guide moves :)

I'm looking for folks willing to contribute to this matching pool in advance. This would be a pledge to match up to $N of other people's donations to the specific orgs listed in the Giving Guide. We're hoping this can be a big round number to inspire everyone to give more.

If you might be interested in making a larger donation in advance—or if you have friends who might be interested—please reply to me in the next few days and we can chat about the details.

I realize this is a bigger ask, and I deeply appreciate your consideration.

Excited to share the Giving Guide once it launches!

Q: is there a minimum amount asked of a matching donor?

A: not really, every little bit helps! If you're on the fence, please send me an email! I would appreciate increments of $100 for bookkeeping, and if it's < $100, perhaps waiting until the Giving Guide is out and giving directly would be simpler. I'm personally in for $3000.
