While my blog has been pretty quiet over the summer as I work to finish my Income Guide I just wanted to pass on some good news. I recently applied for and received one of four $12,000 NMWE grants from the J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism at American University. This initiative is supported by the McCormick Foundation. J-Lab helps news organizations and citizens use new media technologies to create fresh ways for people to participate in public life. This grant lasts until the fall of 2012 and supplements $14,000 that I raised on Kickstarter. My plan over the next year is to build on the work I am doing this summer by redesigning my website while continuing to create infographic explainers using economic data that help journalists, teachers, students, financial bloggers and citizens understand economic numbers and policy.

For those of you who have already pledged at Kickstarter thanks to you I am just under $14,000 well beyond my original goal!! If you have been meaning to sign up and support my project you still have a few hours left. The project ends 3:00am EST (12pm PST) today.

You can pledge as little as $5 and get a reward…

Thanks!

Just a little reminder: this is the last week to support my work by pledging at Kickstarter.
You can pledge as little as $5 and receive thank-you rewards such as:

• An exclusive look at early drafts of my designs for Illustrated Guide to Income in the United States
• PDF copy of Illustrated Guide to Income in the United States.
• A print copy of the Illustrated Guide to Income in the United States.
• A  t-shirt based on one of my infographics.
• An “Income Tape Measure” designed, created and autographed by me illustrating the income distribution from the poorest to the richest in the U.S.

Thanks!
Catherine
