Two Events to Note
Both events are on Wednesday, May 15th.
One is the Seattle Foundation's Give Big day, the one-day online event to prod/inspire people to give to one (or more) of 1400 non-profits. It goes from midnight to midnight. Seattle Foundation then gives "a pro-rated portion of the matching funds. The amount of the "stretch" depends on the size of the stretch pool and how much is raised over the day."
Last year's total? $7.43M. That's big. If you are going to give, make it go farther.

Education groups include:
- 826 Seattle - a tutoring group that I work with. A great, great organization that serves students in multiple ways, both at their own site and in schools.
