MP users CRUSHED it with the AF fundraiser
|
As announced here, two weeks ago MP announced it would match all memberships and gifts to the Access Fund, up to $50,000. |

Too cool! |
|
I WANT MY $$ BACK!! |

Does anyone know what access fund would typically raise over a similar 15 day period? It would be really cool to see a graph of funds raised June 15-30 for the past decade and huge spike this year (if it is a huge spike). |

That would imply that indeed, June was a very very good month. Muscrat wrote:Way to go; let's make it annual? Nice work Nick et al.That's a lot to ask from one guy... but the rest of us can renew our memberships annually! I have since 1992. |

And to another question, REI gives the AF around $50,000/year separately from this effort, and $4,600,000 last year alone to about 300 outdoor organizations . Since I'm in Boulder, I happen to know that in 2015, REI just gave the Boulder Climbing Community $10k, up from $5k in years past. It makes a real difference to our local climbing! |

That's really impressive. Congrats to MP for pulling it off. |
