$7935, folks! How amazing is that?
ETA Well, I might have checked first to see if it was news to anyone but me, but that doesn't make me any less pleased.
To those of you who contributed to our challenge grant from Two Rivers Circle, I have great news to report: In a short time, Oyate received 213 donations, for a total of $7,935, way more than we ever imagined! Most of the donations were small, and reflected both the economic crisis and the generosity of lots of people who care about what we do. Many donations came in from members of progressive organizations (including, of course, ChildLit) that spread the news on their listservs and blogs. What all of this means is that we are going forward with the overhauling and redesign of our website! This is all very exciting. Stay tuned.
