Can you shop and support a worthwhile project at the same time?

Will you be doing any shopping at the following locations in the next few weeks?

Best Buy 

Sears

Home Depot

Starbucks

Subway

As you know from my last blog post my project to raise funds for an editor for my unpublished memoir “Muckville: Farm Policy, Media and the Strange Oddities of Semi-Rural Life” has been taken up by the Crowd Funder TV Show:

Their campaigns are distinctly different from Kickstarter in 2 ways …

1. It is not “all or nothing”
2. The rewards are dollar for dollar matched gift cards

That’s right, if you back me for $25 you get a $25 gift card, possibly from a place you were planning on shopping at anyway. It is essentially donating to my project for free, if you plan on shopping at any of those locations.

So, I hope you can back me and spread the word. Once the segment from their TV show goes online I will post it as well. Again, thank you all for your support!

Here is a link to another past segment from the show:
