The urbanist thermometer is almost at the cornice!

As this week comes to a close, so does our reader drive, and you have really come through. We’ve almost maxed out our $3,000 matching challenge grant. Can you help us get the very last bit of the way there?

Readers have pitched in $2,236 since we started the match on Tuesday. That match doubles any contribution up to $3,000, which means we only have $764 left to go to hit this target. If you can support us with some of that last $764 you get to double your impact.

We’d love to stop having to talk about fundraising too, at least for a little while. Can we close out the reader drive by maxing out the match and hitting $15,000? Thank you so much to everyone who has already contributed and to in advance to everyone who does!
