October Crowdfunding Tops $90,000

During October, Crowdfund 新澳门六合彩内幕信息 Davis continued to push boundaries with new and returning projects that ranged from student support to broadening diversity, equity and inclusion; providing research opportunities for students and more.

The cohort saw success with 662 gifts for 26 projects, raising over $90,000. Nine projects met or exceeded their fundraising goals, and four reached over 80% of their goal.

Window to the Coast: The Bodega Marine Laboratory exceeded expectations as they raised 56 percent above their goal. The team raised funds to add an additional webcam on the roof of the lab that will display a view of the open ocean. The upgraded webcam will bring the wonders of the Bodega Marine Reserve to the world, giving folks the opportunity to check weather and ocean conditions, spot local wildlife and soak in the mesmerizing ocean view.

鈥淲e couldn鈥檛 be more grateful to the community of supporters who have made it possible to upgrade the Horseshoe Cove webcam. Every donation, big or small, has a huge impact on public access and research efforts at the laboratory and on the reserve,鈥 shared the Project Team leaders, Moose O鈥橠onnell, John Lagier, Kristin Aquilino and Suzanne Olyarnik.
