Thanks to everyone who has helped fund this already. We passed $1000 a few
hours ago, which ensures that the community will be able to fund 1
scholarship.
Just now, DPLA came through with $300 to get us started toward a second
$1000. Let's see if we can deliver!

I can confirm that contributions are tax deductible, and the host committee
will send a letter to each contributor after the close of the campaign with
the details.

Thanks Cary,
The Portland host committee is using DLF as fiscal agent, and any money

I think that this is by and large a good idea, but if we want to expand it, we
really should find a 501c3 to act as fiscal agent so that donations can be tax
