Wednesday Night Dinner with The School Fund

One of our 2011 affiliates, Josh To of WellDone.org introduced us to The School Fund's idea several months ago. We checked them out and loved the easy-to-use interface, the person-to-person component and also the emphasis on transparency in nonprofit donations. Based on that, we reached out to one of the founders, Matt Severson, and were able to talk about potential partnerships face to face when he returned to the Bay Area a few weeks ago. 
Tonight, we were tremendously excited to sit down with Matt again, this time with co-founder Roxana Moussavian, to talk about things more concretely. There are some exciting things brewing between us and we can't wait to formally announce things once they happen!

In the meantime, we encourage you to learn more about The School Fund and their mission. They are currently focused on funding scholarships for African schoolchildren (with an excellent breakdown of scholarship costs, and a full description of the accountability process so donors know exactly how their money will be spent and distributed). We feel their platform could be a great window to the West for underfunded causes related to Asian youth as well and are working to make that happen. Hopefully we'll have updates shortly on how that might happen!
