This year, inspired by Six Apart's participation in DonorsChoose.org's Blogger Challenge, I will personally be supporting this incredibly awesome organization. Check out my giving page for the Nested & Dollarshort Challenge. It lists the classroom projects that I'd love to have a part in funding. The emphasis is on arts (& crafts) and writing in early education. Once these projects are fulfilled, I'll be adding additional ones to the mix.
As part of my commitment to the challenge, I promise to post something each and every day of the challenge. If you're a reader of this infrequently updated blog, you know that's quite the promise. The one qualification is that the content will either appear here or on my other blog, Nested.
Now if I can hold up that part of the bargain, it shouldn't be that difficult for you to go to my Challenge Page and, well, give! If you donate, you'll receive handwritten letters of thanks from the kids. By far, this sort of feedback is enough motivation to be generous.
Oh, and if you really want to support my challenge, be sure to add the widget over on my sidebar to your own blog.
There are incentives too! Donate and you'll get a homemade finger puppet! And, to sweeten the deal you can be a "sponsor" of my words here at dollarshort. Check out this post to see what I mean.
