HOW YOU CAN HELP
1. Spread the word
prior to the campaign launch – to academic colleagues (in economics or elsewhere),
students in classes, conference participants, policy-makers, parliamentarians, philanthropists etc.
2. Make, and encourage,
donations, of ANY size, according to your situation. Especially
on the first or second day of the campaign.
Experience shows that strong starts are correlated with strong
finishes.
