With some extremely hard work from dedicated professionals volunteering their time, the website for 51 Percent is coming along quickly. For a young educational organization, the launch of the website will be a critical step, because many of the materials 51 Percent will disseminate can be made available through the website. We are working to launch the website as early in January as possible. For those interested in heeding the Obama-Biden transition team's call to treat January 19 as a day of service, we will be registering 51 Percent as an organization to be part of that effort as soon as the transition team accepts registrations, which they have said they will be doing shortly after New Year's Day. We will announce specific ways to help 51 Percent on the 19th specifically.
Financial assistance now has been crucial. Thank you to those who have been donating to 51 Percent: you are helping to cover costs ranging from website hosting to paying professional fees. At this stage every dollar donated is extra precious. We know times are tough, another reason for our deepest appreciation for any contribution - these days, even $5.10 is a sacrifice for many. If you care to donate, you can do so below.

51 Percent has raised about $6000; as founder I have donated an additional $5000. If we can raise an additional $4000, 51 Percent would, for now, be comfortable; if we can raise $9000, 51 Percent will have funds to begin raising its profile.
Between contributions and the founder's donation, 51 Percent has raised eleven thousand dollars. Ambitious target: twenty thousand dollars ($9000 needed). Interim target: fifteen thousand dollars ($4000 needed).
