Survival Campaign Progress: Almost Half Way There
Through the second week of the AERO Survival Campaign we have now received $9,847 toward our $20,000 goal from 89 people from 24 states and 12 countries. That goal is the minimum we need just to continue operations at our current level. You can follow the progress towards our goal on the campaign page (see below for link). The donations have ranged from $5 to $1,000 with several at $250 (even a little bit goes a long way). As we have interacted with our donors it has been great to bring our information about them up do date. We were very touched by some donations that were collected directly by students in some of our member schools. If we reach our goal within the next few weeks and do well with our holiday season sales we will not have to cut any services and will make it through until we expect to get more foundation support to make up our deficits. Our long-term goal is to become self-sufficient, but we never want to turn down anyone for financial reasons who requests our help. We want everyone to become part of the Education Revolution!
Please do help support the AERO survival campaign if you have not yet done so and are able. Some of our members have suggested funding sources from individuals and foundations and other ideas. We greatly appreciate any suggestions and will follow up on them. If you have ideas for resources for this campaign, please let us know! And please pass on our request for support to others whom you may know who would support learner-centered education that empowers students!
Sincerely,
Jerry Mintz
Executive Director
