Vote for Funding

About five months ago, I blogged about The Teacher Salary Project.

Now they are entered into the Pepsi-sponsored Refresh Everything competition to gain funding for their documentary film. Pepsi is giving away $1,300,000 each month to fund great ideas. The project went from being rated #202 to #32 and they need help getting in the top 10 as they are in the running for $50,000.

The Teacher Salary Project's mission statement is to 'change the way society values our effective teachers.'

Here are the goals they hope to accomplish with their project:

• Inspire the public at large to take action
• Create a national town hall event for spring 2011
• Collect the largest digital archive of teaching stories
• Create a feature-length documentary film
• Engage every American in changing how we value effective teachers
