Ten Thousand Dollar Matching Grant
I haven't made too many blog entries lately--but as of today I am rededicating myself to the blog, and to making at least three entries a week. Some will be about my upcoming book, some about my documentary work, and some on history in general.
Today's has to do with a limited time opportunity to earn a matching funds grant for the Ghost Army project. But to do it, we need all the help we can get.
Kevin Bacon’s Six Degrees charitable organization is offering a $10,000 matching grant to the non-profit that raises the most between now and September 16 through a charity badge (at right on the blog's main page.) The badge offers a way for people to read about the film, see a video, and donate money.
I'm trying to engage as many donors and raise as much money as possible between now and September 16th. There are two ways you can help:
1. DONATE
Click “Donate” on the badge and it will take you to a page where you make a credit card or Pay-Pal donation to The Center For Independent Documentary. ***Important: On the Designation line please type in “The Ghost Army.”
2. SPREAD THE WORD Post the badge on your blog, your web page, add a link to your email—in short, please do anything you can to help get as many people to donate as possible. Hit the Share button to get the code you need to put a copy of the badge someplace.
As I write, the competition for the matching funds has just begun, and our badge is in the top ten. Help us stay in the running and earn the funds!
