Social Actions Wins Reddit's FeedANeed.org Contest (plus A Thank You to Donors)

Thanks to everyone who voted for our submission in Reddit's FeedANeed.org contest and has donated to our $20.09 fundraising campaign, Social Actions has hit the ground running in 2009.

Thank You for Voting

Yesterday, we learned that Social Actions is officially the top vote getter in the FeedANeed.org contest. This honor translates to 160 hours of pro-bono programming and volunteer hours from the Reddit community. At the rate we currently pay for programming, this prize works out to just under $15,000 of in kind services. We're incredibly happy to receive this news. With money running short, pro-bono programming hours is music to our ears. Thank you everyone who voted for Social Actions in the FeedaNeed.org contest.

Thank You for Donating

So far, our fundraising campaign for 2009 has raised $7,713 from 77 people. Since December, we have been asking people to donate just $20.09 to support Social Actions in 2009. Our goal is to raise $20,009 by 2/2/2009. If you have already donated, THANK YOU. If you've been meaning to do so, please donate now.

I would like to draw special attention to the 77 people who have already donated $20.09 or more to support Social Actions in 2009. The list of names reads something like a who's who of micro-philanthropy. Below is a list of everyone who has donated to date.
