We have good news about April winner Dare Education Foundation, right after this quick update...

Keep being awesome.

You all make me so proud when it comes time to write our monthly grant checks. This money comes from you, and is pointed in the right direction by you. Jessica and I have the simple yet super satisfying job of signing the checks and putting them in the mail. But the rest is all you. Thanks for everything, and keep up the good work. Literally, good work. It doesn't get much better than this.

April 2022 winner Dare Education Foundation

At midnight on April 30 we named Charitocracy OBX's 19th monthly winner! Congratulations to Dare Education Foundation, nominated by donor obxsunny. They inspire our community to join together in a shared belief that by supporting our schools we are DEFining our future. You can find their website here.

We have good news about March winner Corolla Wild Horse Fund, right after this quick update...

Our first public event ever!

League of Women Voters of Dare County invited me and Jessica to speak at their monthly luncheon last month at 3 Tequilas in Kill Devil Hills on St. Patrick's Day. What a total blast! We had a lot of laughs telling them how Charitocracy works and about the origins of Charitocracy OBX. Donor (and prolific OBX nominator) John Towler wrote about it for their monthly newsletter. Thanks for the opportunity!

Charitocracy Boot Camp

Our daughter, Felicity, donated her time and talent to a collection of short training videos we're calling Charitocracy Boot Camp. Each one is super short (about a minute long) and walk you through one aspect of the Charitocracy website, such as voting, nominating, or resetting your password. Enjoy, and maybe learn something new? (Thanks for being awesome, Felicity!)
