This is a game-changer for the Secular Student Alliance.
We’re growing in affiliates and staff and we now have an opportunity to really raise serious money that will allow us to have a bigger impact nationwide. Jeff Hawkins, creator of the PalmPilot, and Janet Strauss are pledging to match all new donations in 2011 up to $100,000.
Wow.
To summarize what they’ll match:
- New donors : 100% of your 2011 giving will be matched.
- Past donors : 100% of your 2011 giving will be matched if you missed us in 2010.
- Current donors : Any donation in 2011 beyond the amount you contributed in 2010 will be matched 100%.
I’m a current donor (and board member), but I’ll be giving additional contributions this year.
The match couldn’t have come at a better time. Our growth rate has just been incredible lately:

So if you haven’t given, or even if you have, please consider making a donation to the SSA. Our staff makes excellent use of the money we have and they’re reaching out to college (and high school!) campuses across the country in a way no atheist group has ever done before.
