I will match up to $5000 in donations (+company match! 3x your impact!) to nonprofits supporting racial justice, broadly interpreted. Please check with me that the nonprofit can be matched by the company before donating. (e.g. red canary song does great work, but is sadly not eligible) I would prefer that these be new donations, but obviously have no way to check. I'll accept any sort of confirmation of donation on the honor code, you can DM or email me as you wish.

ETA: We're at 1660$ donated by me, which comes out to 5080$ (one person got her company to match too) donated total so far!!! And since it was asked: no deadline on donations, just until i hit $5000!

ETA2: Everyone is SO generous; i'm at 3440$ personally donated, for a total of 10470$ donated between all the matches?!

ETA3: omg I hit $5000 in less than 24 hours?! A total of $15,890 donated to some great causes! I hope everyone will keep contributing as they are able. It seems (n=1) that this kind of solicitation of donations is shockingly effective, if anyone is ~inspired~ to do similar!

Would you consider the Navajo water project applicable? I can get a corporate match on my end too, so if I do $100, between us we can make it a 4x match. :)

I would, yes!

Cool! I sent an email to the address you have listed on your profile page.

:) Sent my donation confirmation back!

Do you have a preference / a match confirmation between http://advancingjustice-aajc.org/, https://saalt.org/, or http://filipinos4justice.org/ ? All three are also company-matched on my side, which increases the impact again.

(Also, if I match through 'paycheck donation', they'll get both at once but it won't donate 'til my next paystub - if I donate directly, they get my money straight away but company match takes ~a month. Happy to do either one.)

All three are yes! (I assume that if you're listed in one company's match program, the chances of being listed in another are highly correlated lol!) I've matched 80$ for AAAJ and 100$ for SAALT already in case that affects which you want to donate to.

No preference on timing!
