First, thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has already donated to the Days of Giving Campaign. The good news is that, because of you, we exceeded our initial goal, and that means a lot of girls in school, a lot of textbooks, more skilled teachers, and a lot more goodness. Thank you!
But if you haven't given yet, there's more good news! The Johnson Family was so inspired by the Mali Rising community's generosity that they have extended their matching grant -- they will now match all donations up to $20,000! We've also extended the deadline to November 9 to give you a little more time to help us get that match for our students.
If you haven't given yet, please give today.
With our small budget, this matching grant and your gifts are hugely important. If we are able to raise $40,000 from you all and the matching grant, this could be the best school year yet for our students in Mali. Just a few of the items that you can still donate include:
Sponsor year-long support through the Girls' Project for one girl ($100)
Underwrite a Career Advisor/Guidance Counselor for the year ($60)
Donate a Little Library ($250)
Remember, whatever you can donate will be DOUBLED if you give by November 9!
