Some answers to your FAQs about the Project for Awesome (more info here: projectforawesome/about): - This year it takes place on December 12th to 13th. - Video submissions are open on projectforawesome, and the 48-hour livestream is running from 12pm ET on December 12th to 12pm ET on December 14th. - The Indiegogo Campaign will be open from December 10th to December 16th. - How much of the money raised goes to charity? 100%, less the cost of perk manufacturing, shipping, Indiegogos fees, and merchant (credit card) fees, which are all, on average, less than 10% of the donation level. P4A has no traditional overhead. All of the time spent on the project is donated, guaranteeing that the maximum amount possible goes to charity. - How do we decide who gets the money? In 2014, the money raised will be split two ways: (1) From 12am ET on December 10th through 11:59pm ET on December 12th, donations will go to Save the Children and Partners in Health, two charities that Nerdfighteria has worked with closely over the years. (2) From 12am ET on December 13th through 11:59pm ET on December 16th, donations will go to community chosen educations, based on votes on the Project For Awesome website. (This is, however, subject to the approval of the board of directors of the Foundation to Decrease World Suck, partly because the law is complex and partly to prevent a trolling group from coming in and hijacking the vote.)
