The American Express "Members Project" has selected a winner, though not without a whiff of controversy. Of course, given that the winning project is intended to provide safe drinking water for children, which is exactly the sort of unglamourous but necessary work that really needs more funding, it would be tacky in the extreme to complain at length.
The locally hyped DonorsChoose proposal came in second in the voting, and will receive $100,000 (as will three other runner-up projects), which isn't too shabby. Thanks to all those who voted and contributed, and congratulations to all the charities in the final five. Keep up the good works.
