John, Sarah, Hank, and Katherine are donating $6,500,000 to Partners in Health Sierra Leone. In this video, John discusses why the healthcare workers there need support to address the maternal mortality crisis, and the long-term plan Partners in Health has developed to strengthen every facet of the healthcare system in Sierra Leone's Kono District.

You can help by making a gift at http://pih.org/hankandjohn, and right now all your donations will be matched by people in Nerdfighteria who came together to create a matching fund!

It’s time to get ready for the 2019 Project for Awesome (Dec. 6-8)!

If you’re new here and aren’t familiar with the Project for Awesome, the basic premise is this: People make videos supporting their favorite charities, the community votes for its favorites, and the funds go to the organizations with the most votes (as well as two nonprofits chosen by John and Hank). Most of the money is raised through the Indiegogo campaign, where people can make donations in exchange for cool stuff. One amazing perk we like to do is the Nerdfighter Art perk. This is where you come in! Here’s what you need to know if you’d like to contribute your art to the P4A:

Ideally, you will be making 15+ items and shipping them to Missoula, Montana to be distributed to the people who claimed the Nerdfighter Art perk! (If you have something cool you want to make but can’t make 15, we still want to read your proposal! A few of something super cool is still great.)

We’re looking for small, easily shipped items. This can include knitwear, small plushies, small drawings and paintings, digital art prints, etc. Nothing super big or super fragile.

The art does not need to be nerdfighter themed, but it is highly encouraged!

The estimated worth of the art should be about $25-$30 because the perk will be sold for $40. That’s not a strict amount, just something to keep in mind when making your proposals.

If you’re interested, please email nerdfighterart@gmail.com by October 10th with an example of what you have/will be creating and what quantity. A picture of it for us to see would be extra helpful when sorting through everyone’s submissions.

We will let you know if it looks like a good fit for P4A and provide additional information as soon as we can, giving you a good amount of time to create your pieces. We’d like you to ship them to us no later than November 20th.

If you want to see some examples of nerdfighter art, scroll through the P4A Tumblr and the Nerdfighter Art Tumblr.

We can’t wait to see what you create!
