 <title>Vote For Donors Choose In The American Express Members Project</title>

&lt;p&gt;American Express is giving away $1.5mm to the winning project and $500k to the project that comes in second. This contest ends in less than 2 days. The number of projects still in the race is now five and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donorschoose.org&quot; title=&quot;Donorschoose.org&quot; rel=&quot;homepage&quot; class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Donors Choose&lt;/a&gt; is one of them and is currently in second. If you&#039;ve been reading this blog, you know that Donors Choose is an amazing organization that allows us to give teaching materials directly to needy public school classrooms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You have to be a member of American Express (which means you have a card) to vote. I just &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.membersproject.com/project/view/V8EWJV&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;voted for Donors Choose&lt;/a&gt;. It took all of about two minutes, but I suggest you have your amex card handy when you do it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to see all five finalists, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.membersproject.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;go here&lt;/a&gt;. This community has visited the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/viewChallenge.html?id=19055&amp;amp;category=14&amp;amp;zone=0&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Donors Choose Giving Page&lt;/a&gt; over 500 times in the past week and a half. If we can generate a similar amount of votes in the Members Project, it will likely make a big difference.&lt;/p&gt;
