Support the Commons | Creative Commons

I am grateful for the extraordinary support of our 2005 Fund Campaign. As of now, we've raised 52% over our goal. At the very end, Microsoft put us over the top with a $25,000 contribution. And we have now confirmed an anonymous (for the moment) gift of $1,000,000 — the first $90,000 we received at the end of the year. Thank you to everyone who made this campaign a success. We're very happy to continue to receive more support, but now we're turning back to our work in spreading CC. Thank you again.
