Can We Find 11 New #AMPLIFY Donors to Celebrate 11 Years on Facebook?

Tuesday, July 19 will mark 11 years since I joined Facebook. This past May, I celebrated 10 years on Twitter. That’s a lot of content created and shared. In that time, I’ve gone through three laptops, a tablet, and six phones.

But Facebook in particular is the number one source of traffic to my blog and to the #AMPLIFY posts.

To honor these 11 years, I’m hoping to find 11 new donations to our current crowdfundraiser – we have been selected to receive a 100% match from the Buhl Foundation to organize a hyperlocal outreach effort for AMPLIFY in the Northside neighborhoods. I guess 11 years after the fact, I’m still trying to use Facebook as a community organizing tool.

Donations are instantly doubled, just as you click the button. They are tax-deductible as permitted. You can find our general donation information here.

If you appreciate the blog, AMPLIFY, or my general Facebook content, please consider making a donation to help us reach this little goal. We have 55 hours and go …
