We’re in week #3 of the Skoll Foundation’s Social Entrepreneurs Charity Challenge on CrowdRise and we just found out about this week’s Bonus Challenge. We really need your help because it’s all about speed. Starting now, if we’re one of the first 40 organizations to raise at least $1,000, we’ll automatically get a $1,000 match for our cause. To help us be one of the “first 40” to receive this week’s Bonus Challenge #3, all you need to do is go to our Challenge page on CrowdRise—Bookshare for Veterans—and give what you can.
Wondering how you can make a real difference in the life of a veteran? Join us in week 2 of our Bookshare for Veterans crowdfunding campaign on CrowdRise! We’re on a mission to improve the quality of life for US veterans with print disabilities by giving them the gift of reading through Bookshare. In addition to one of the grand Challenge prizes worth up to $50,000, we’re also trying to win the weekly Bonus Challenge cash prizes. If you aren’t already a Challenge team member, just go to our campaign page, click “Fundraise for this Campaign” and follow the steps to get started.
Please help us give the gift of reading to veterans with print disabilities by supporting our Bookshare for Veterans crowdfunding campaign on CrowdRise. Our goal is to extend Bookshare services to our veterans and provide them with access to the books they need for education, employment and inclusion in society. To support this, we just launched a crowdfunding campaign as part of the Skoll Foundation’s Social Entrepreneurs Challenge on CrowdRise. The Challenge is an 8-week campaign geared towards helping the world’s leading social enterprises raise money, awareness and resources for their causes. Join us! Support our Challenge—Benetech’s Bookshare for Veterans. Because everyone deserves the right to read.
