A big thanks to the 103 people who donated to our first crowdfunding campaign! We raised a total of $17,854 in six weeks. In addition to these funds, donations were made directly to Story of America making the total raised for our seed money nearly $33,000.

As a result of these contributions, we have been able to create 21 original videos since November with close to 150,000 views and 2 hours of running time (as of February 13, 2013). We couldn’t have done this without our supporters!

We also appreciated all the supportive comments about our work.

Perks for our contributors including postcards and access to filmmakers’ video diary will be available in March a month earlier than scheduled.

We are currently $27,000 short of our immediate fundraising needs. To support our work, you can make a tax deductible donation HERE.
