Final stretch for BlogHers Act fundraising drive...Myanmar added to the list of projects

I've written before about BlogHer's Mother's Day fundraising initiative in partnership with Global Giving.

Today we announced two incentives to participate in this the final week before Mother's Day:

1. We've added a sixth donation option on top of the five worthy projects we're supporting: Provide Emergency Relief - Myanmar Cyclone Victims. The devastation is horrifying in the aftermath of the world's worst natural disaster since the 2004 tsunami. And the cries of governmental lack of transparency or fast action is reminding some of us, very uncomfortably, of Hurricane Katrina.

2. BlogHer and GlobalGiving are offering matching funds. Lisa lays it out as follows:

Whichever of the now six projects recommended via the BlogHers Act fundraising widget receives the most donations between now and the end of the week will get a $1,000 donation from BlogHer, which Global Giving has agreed to match. The other five worthy projects will also get a donation of $200 each from BlogHer.

Now, you know you can give a donation to one of these worthy projects in someone's honor, like, say, I don't know...your mother!!!

So, grab the widget, grab your wallet, let's get that number higher, knowing another $3,000 will be added on top of it, from BlogHer and Global Giving.
