Hi all. We just wanted to update you on our fund raising. First of all, thanks again for your heartfelt support. It's great to know that so many people appreciate what we do enough to contribute.
We've also reached out to many excellent foundations and organizations, and we're getting closer to fixing our budget moving forward. But, bottom line, at the moment we're still carrying just under a $14,000 deficit for the year. Each new donor gets us closer to our finish line AND demonstrates to those major donors and foundations just how much Streetsblog means to you.

Although this fund drive is dealing with a serious problem, we're trying to have some fun along the way (thus, the cat photos in our previous posts!). We're also going to do a little raffle. Donors will now be eligible for a few fun prizes--including tickets to the Oakland A's, Streetsblog's stylish and much coveted hoodies, and some t-shirts.
Donate now and be entered to win two free tickets to an Oakland A's game!
So won't you please help us get to home plate with this fund drive?
Now’s a great time to a) spread the word via social media or email (example below) b) share a great idea or contact that can help us get forward (contact Damien Newton, damien@streetsblog.org) c) make a donation if you haven’t yet.
