we should also note that PIKSI board members have donated their own books as "premiums" if you donate $100!  I do think this will mean more $100 contributions--someone thinks, "well, I can give $50,"  then sees the "deal" at $100 and clicks!

All-

Ann has opened up a great moment to thank all of the other feminist philosophy orgs who have been extremely helpful in the PIKSI fundraising campaign. Special shout-outs to Hypatia Inc. for being willing to collect the funds and to the Committee on the Status of Women for donating "Philosophy: Got Women?" buttons.

Also, if FEASTERs want to do: you can remind social networks that donating this is something concrete we can do to diversify philosophy! The shortened URL is: igg.me/at/piksi  . Consider tweeting it and the hashtag #PIKSI or just posting the link to your Facebook page!

Warmly,

Serene

thanks Chris.  You motivated me!

Just a heads up to all -- you'll receive 2 emails when you contribute--one from Indiegogo thanking you for the PIKSI contrib and the other tells you that you've contributed to Hypatia Inc and that's how it will appear on your credit card statement. This is NOT a mistake. 

Hypatia, Inc. is the incorporated nonprofit that is handling the funding for PIKSI through Indiegogo.

Hello Everyone,

As most of you know, several of the members of FEAST and SWIP have been hard at work building PIKSI, a wonderful program dedicated to improving the pipeline of diverse and under-represented students into Philosophy graduate programs and, ultimately, into the profession. PIKSI is conducting a fund-raising campaign this month with the hope to get support from far and wide. Please consider supporting our work, and note that we are all volunteers, so your donation dollars go extra far in directly supporting programming.

 

This is something concrete we can do to increase diversity in philosophy.

 

Here is a link to the PIKSI fundraising page, where you can also find a video made by our previous participants,
