You Did It!!!
GRITtv had a matching grant to meet before Midnight, Sunday, July 5.
We needed to raise $5,000, in order to claim a matching grant of $75,000.
Cutting to the chase -- in response to our pitch -- 120 viewers contributed $5,713 in just four days!
We made our match -- and truly, we're celebrating!!!
Thank you, Jane. Thank you, FiredogLakers (especially all those of you who had problems with Paypal but persisted and found a way.) Thank you Jenn Pozner of Women in Media and News too.
For anyone who's feeling left out. It's never too late-- you can still contribute to GRITtv online or send a check, made out to GRITtv to GRITtv, 641 6th Avenue, 4th Floor, NY, NY 10011.
Congratulations all. What a way to celebrate Independence.
From the bottom of our Gritty hearts, THANK YOU
Laura

For some reason or other, my paypal does not work. I am changing telephone companies so that might be the reason for the problem. You don’t seem to have any other way to donate so I am making you a promise to pay $20.00. Show me or tell me a way that I can mastercard $20.00 to you or tell me how I can mail it.

Frank — sorry you’re having a problem. We don’t have a mastercard account at this time, but old fashioned paper checks made out to GRITtv can be sent to us directly at GRITtv: 641 6th Ave., 4th Floor, NYC, NY 10011.
Any more questions? Write to me: Laura@grittv.org and we’ll figure it out!!!
Thanks for helping.
Have a great Independence Day.
