We are gearing up for a big day on our Newswire and Open Government
Facebook group.
Together we can keep our knowledge sharing and convening engine going.
Via PayPal, GiveMN or via postal mail, you can start us off now by
contributing any amount as a thank you for the Democracies Online Newswire:
http://e-democracy.org/donate
As our independent non-profit moves into almost exclusively
donation-supported and fee for service based open government and civic
technology efforts in 2015, we need everyone who values this Newswire
service to contribute. It will be so appreciated.
Right now, we've crossed the $1500 mark with over 35 donors in our
end-of-year pledge drive to date driven by our local online community forum
members. Now we will be asking those on the Newswire and in our global
online communities to do their share as well.
We need to raise $10,000 to cover actual technology hosting and our help
desk costs for 2015. We raised over $5,000 in individual donations with a
pretty light ask last year, so with our strong need in mind, please join me
in contributing to these global knowledge exchange and networking efforts.
Please tweet out your support with #GivingTuesday ... for more information:

P.S. If your company or organization would like to sponsor the work are
putting into building the Open Government and Civic Technology Facebook
Group, the Democracies Online Newswire, and a possible weekly "@democracy -
Tech" major distribution email newsletter I am exploring that shares
highlights from these services and other community spaces in our field,
contact me. Break the ice with a donation - http://e-democracy.org/donate -
and then let's talk. :-)
