If we raise $25,000, we can put $75,000 of boots on the ground in Nevada. Let’s win Nevada in November.
Four Directions found us a double-match, and three Balloon Juice Angels yesterday helped us raise over $6,500 on the first day!
One more Angel appeared later in the day yesterday, so I’m happy to say that we have a $2,000 Angel match available, starting now.
With the double-match plus the angel match, your donations – up to $50 person – turn into 6x that amount for Nevada.
So your $10 donation becomes $60, $25 becomes $150, $50 becomes $300 for Nevada.

I’m about to make dinner, but I’ll be back in a little while – in case anyone has questions. And to say thank you, of course, if we get some donations.
Remember: the fine print is that you only get Angel-matched if you post your donation in the comments. Otherwise, you get double-matched by the Four Directions donors, so Nevada gets 3x your donation instead of 6x!

Which account should I donate to? I only see a thermometer for Ukraine, not Nevada.
WaterGirl
@jnfr: Only I could forget to put the thermometer in a fundraising post!!! It’s there now.
Also, the Ukraine thermometer is at the top in the sidebar, and the Four Directions thermometer is at the bottom in the sidebar.

Over $700 came in while I was having dinner! Nearly $600 of that was angel matched, and when all the matching is done that will be just over $4,000 for Nevada!
Thanks so much to everyone who has donated so far!

4 Directions and the angel are awesome! $10 doesn’t come close to what they are doing. So thanks to all.

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! We are now at a collective $5,000 for Nevada (after all the matching) in the two hours since I put this up.

Hooray for the current angel, and all the donors – pretty amazing to see that this fundraiser is already 1/3 of the way complete, after what, only 2 days?! This blog is a force to be reckoned with.
Leslie
Yay, another Angel! Work has been crazy and I missed the first fundraising post. In for $50.
WaterGirl
@Leslie: One of the best parts about an angel match is that it resets with every new angel!

Our first Balloon Juice Angel from yesterday just added his $1,000, so the thermometer just jumped from $8,500 to $9,500!

We have matched $975 of the $2,000 Angel match, so I’m sure there will be match money available for any overnight donations!
