We are looking to raise $1500 dollars over 5 months from PTP participants so that we can gain the $1500 that has been put on the table as Matching Funds. This means that for every dollar ($1) PTP participants put in, up to that $1500 mark, the folks who are offering the matching funds will put in dollar ($1). To break it down even further, that is |

* $300 a month. * $75 a week * $10.71 a day |

| To break it down even further, thats $300 a month. | Put it this way, if only 3 PTP participants donates the price of 1 large latte each day, the goal will be reached. |

Six Bucks ($6), that would be less than the price of a large latte and a sandwich, less than the price of a most computer magazines, less even than the price of 4 allzone rides on trimet. |

| $10.71 a day | Seen another way, back in October one of the many PTP nodes, The Heaven Cafe, had an average of 27 nocat auths per day. If just one user each day donated $10 the goal of this CapitalFund drive would be reached. That is just figuring the PTP had one node, not the plethora of nodes it does around the city. |

| Put it this way, if only 3 PTP participants donates the price of 1 large latte each day, the goal will be reached. | The big picture message here is Give What You Can, if each and every participant can give a dollar ($1) we would be that much closer to getting those Matching Funds, funds we can use to build more nodes and educate more people on how to use the nodes. |
