The slate article is correct, but its desirable to be polite as well as accurate if you actually want to communicate something. Also, if someone wants to donate to feel good, that feeling good is an actively good thing that they are purchasing and its undesirable to try to damage it.
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.
