Many of you know of the i’m Making a Difference project has been around for a year. Well today Dharmesh Mehta announced on MessengerSays that it has donated $1.3 Million to the various charities associated with the project. As we speak the total has been updated to $1,409,788 Million.
They have also announced that theres still no set limit on donations and are continuing the project now and into the future so this is great news to all that participate and want to make a difference. Remember if you wish to help the cause head over to i’m Making a Difference site.
Just as the title says, I’m stunned. Just 5 days ago I updated about the i’m Making A Difference progress and just checking the donation tally, it has risen to an unbelievable $706,678.63. So the donation per month average has risen to $70,667.
This is absolutely amazing with less then $300,000 to go till it reaches $1,000,000 million region. My guess is next month may see this worthwhile cause will reach this mark easily. All I can say is keep up the good work to those that support it!
A few months back I wrote a piece on the progress of the i’m Making A Difference program and at that stage approximately $92,500 was raised. Since then till now it has catapulted to an amazing $366,018.38. Thats raised the average raised per month from $10,000 to roughly $33,274. This is tremendous news for those charities that are involved with the program.
