Charitocracy's 28th check to December winner Malala Fund for $1840

We have good news about December winner Malala Fund, right after this quick update...

1000 Likes

What a great way to end the year. In the last days of December our Facebook page like odometer rolled past 1000. We had 122 people share our ad, and over 150 new likes in December. It's a nice milestone to put in the rearview mirror as we enter 2019.

For our next trick, we'll try to get some of our new likers to join us as donors at Charitocracy. 5 times as many people like us as donate and participate. $12 is our new, lower, minimum annual donation which may help. But mostly it'll be a matter of getting our message out there, and to belt it out louder than the background social media noise. Your continued support sharing Charitocracy posts is greatly appreciated, amplifying our signal while reducing our costs. Thanks!

December 2018 winner Malala Fund

Last night on New Year's Eve, they dropped a ball at the stroke of midnight in Times Square to mark Charitocracy's 28th monthly winner. Congratulations to Malala Fund, and to donor SuZQ for nominating it. This is her second winning nomination after Together We Rise. Strong work, SuZQ, and can't wait to see the next one! You can find their web site here.

Now you have a week to further sweeten the pot with a special one-time donation of any amount, which we'll add straight to the check we write to Malala Fund next week.

Malala Fund breaks down the barriers preventing more than 130 million girls around the world from going to school.

Malala is fighting to give back to girls what poverty, war and discrimination tried to take away. Donate today to help us give all girls the opportunity to learn and lead.

“I believe we will see every girl in school in my lifetime.” -Malala
