For those of you who thought we were out of our mind to try and raise $20,000 in 30 days (us included), we’ve got a new, possibly more attainable goal.  USA Projects has lowered our fundraising goal to $12,000 and extended our deadline to January 7th (our original end date was 12/30).  That’s good news because the lowered fundraising amount automatically put us at 26% of our goal.   That means that we now qualify for the Artist2Artist Fund which allows us to receive 1 to 1 match funding for up to $1000.  So, the next $1,000 we raise means we’re actually getting $2,000 (that would give us a jump to 42% of our goal).

Thanks to 25 very kind individuals we’ve raised over $3,000.  If we can just get another 75 people to pledge in the same manner we’ll make it to our goal.  Considering there are 4 of us trying to raise that money, 100 donors doesn’t seem that unattainable.

We’d also like to remind people that pledging a donation isn’t an entirely one sided gesture.  We’re offering some great “perks” in exchange for your kindness.  Some of which include one of a kind drawings by Michael James Armstrong, limited edition wood block prints by Lee Lavy, and one of a kind sculptures by Thomas DeMello.  And as always with USA Projects, your donation is tax deductible.

Email us if you have any questions, and check out our project page if you’d like to pledge a donation:  USA Projects
