      Your $1 goes twice as far and counts as $2 today thanks to @sch if you’d like to donate to @ProjAlloy and bring people from underrepresented backgrounds to tech conferences, like Strange Loop 2018. 👉 http://ProjectAlloy.org  (thank you to all of our supporters!)https://twitter.com/sch/status/985927895947210753 …

      Michael Schade @sch
      Thrilled @ProjAlloy is making this better. Last year, they brought over 120 grantees from underrepresented backgrounds to @strangeloop_stl. Help this program expand by donating at https://www.projectalloy.org/ . Send receipt & I'll match up to another $1,000 on top of my $1k donation. pic.twitter.com/uEtWPmQdd5

      $125 of donations so far. That’s 1/8th of Michael’s match already! 🙏

      Almost a third of Michael’s donation is matched now, and if we hit the $1000 goal we unlock another matching donor. We are hoping to send another 100+ class to Strange Loop 2018!

      Whoah! Thanks to whoever just kicked the total raised so far today up to $800 which will be matched by @sch!

      This means we are only $200 from unlocking the second round of matching by @FiloSottile

      Today: $970 raised in matching donations for @ProjAlloy out of @sch’s pledged $1000. We are *so* close to hitting the milestone!

      So, just to recap today: @sch offered to match donations up to $1,000 for @ProjAlloy and in less than a day we DID that! Any further donations, up to another $1,000 (well, $980) will be matched by @FiloSottile - matching is still in effect. Thank you to everyone who chipped in!

      Project Alloy exists in large part because of donations from people who work in tech and who want to pay it forward and get underrepresented folks in the room. Of $1000 in donations to @ProjAlloy that @FiloSottile offered to match, $930 remain to be doubled.

          We always hoped the organization could be carried by contributions from people in the tech world, and it's been great and a source of hope to find that this has been true.

          Star Simpson Retweeted boo  👻

          We have discussed extensively how @ProjAlloy measures our own success. Metrics are important, and difficult. Over and over people (with much deeper backgrounds in this area than mine) have suggested using testimonials from the people we reach. Here's one:https://twitter.com/arshia__/status/983803648772751360 …

          i had the most amazing time attending strangeloop last year because of this grant. the folks who organize this are absolutely amazing and i'm so glad i know them. if you're underrepresented in tech and want to attend an educational, inclusive conference, *definitely* apply :) https://twitter.com/ProjAlloy/status/983795447851601920 …

          To be blown away by generosity: not only did @sch make a donation matching $1,000 yesterday, @FiloSottile is doing it again today, and a THIRD donor is offering to match donations beyond that. We @ProjAlloy just need a boost spreading the word.

          Over at the @ProjAlloy account, @theoriginalbrk is running a strong emoji game with updates on the progress on this. Thanks to everyone who has donated so far!
