I've started an Indiegogo fundraiser for Kids Need To Game.
Kids Need To Game is a program that I started in March of 2010 in order to solicit donations of new and old games and gaming material for my school's gaming club, making it the very first-of-its-kind in Denmark.
My school, like many other public schools, operates with very little government funding for anything outside of the most necessary items, so there is simply no money available to purchase tabletop games. And when I started the program, I was doing it for just one school. In the course of a year and a half, Kids Need To Game has expanded beyond my wildest dreams.
I'm now running the program for five different schools, plus a regular summer program. There are over 250 kids now involved.
While I have received many generous donations of games, there simply is no longer enough material to go around, which is why I have decided to go for actual monetary funding of the program. Our school board has agreed to match every amount donated via this fund-raiser - so for every dollar that you donate - we get two of them! This is why I've set the goal of $2,000 USD... if we raise it, I'll have $4,000 USD to purchase everything we need.
