Wait, if I do an echeck through Paypal today, would it count toward the challenge? Paypal says it takes a few days to process :-/

EDIT: n/m, I guess I can just do it via credit card, though SIAI gets less that way.

Donations count toward the challenge if they're dated before the end, even if they aren't received until a few days later.

Thanks. How long until a donation is reflected in the picture? Is it possible the 125k goal is already met?

I update it daily.

Victory! The $125k challenge has been met, according to the current site's picture! (mouse over the image)

Though of course it still encourages you to donate to help meet ... that same $125k goal.

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate all your contributions. We've had a wonderful past year and the fulfillment of this matching challenge really capped it off.
