We have raised more money from individuals in the first six months of this fiscal year than we did in FY19 in its entirety! We gained 4,757 new donors throughout the campaign, whereas in 2018, we gained 2,029 new donors. We also gained 330 new monthly donors, bringing our monthly income from these donors to around $8,000.</span></div><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class=""><b class="">##GivingTuesday / #BitcoinTuesday</b></span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">On Giving Tuesday we published a blog written by Nick[1] and sent a fundraising email based off of that text.
