GiveForward

Hey there friendly friends…I wanted to write a quick note to introduce myself, and let you know that you can expect to see me here pretty regularly to let you know how the Million4Obama campaign.  As you may or may not know, we’re trying to get a million people to give just one dollar to the Barack Obama war chest, and pledge to vote on November 4th.

So far, we’re at 464 dollars.  Not exactly a million, but it’s a real good start.  So tell all your friends, forward this link around: Million4Obama.com, and get out the vote!  It’s an important one this time around, if you hadn’t heard.

Anyhow, keep checking back on the site here, to see the fun and excitement I have to offer for your reading pleasure.  The suspense, I’m sure, is palpable…

Hi All,

Hopefully, most of you who have donated on the site have noticed that when you checkout there is an option to give an additional $1 to the Issue of the Month.  While we grow GiveForward’s community, we decided that it makes more sense to change it to the Cause of the Quarter, meaning we will fundraiser for the same cause for three months before sending our 3 selected charities the money raised.

We think this will increase the likelihood of giving more significant gifts and will give our users more time to become familiar with the selected organizations.

If you haven’t already, we hope you will take a look at this quarter’s cause, Math and Science Education in Chicago Public Schools.
