Posted project update #3Thank you!!
Post Comment"To Catch a Dollar: Muhammad Yunus Banks on America" has been successfully funded, thanks to your generous support!
All we can say is, "Wow!" Thank you so much to everyone who backed our Kickstarter. 118 of you backed us for a total of $20,909. Simply amazing, and we are so incredibly grateful.
We will be in touch soon with all of our backers, both to thank you and also to coordinate your rewards!
- For those of you who pledged at the $250, we will be in touch within the next day (if we haven't already) with information on your tickets to the screening the week of September 23rd.
- For those that pledged at the $1,000 level, you should be receiving an email tonight! Just to reiterate: we have had to change the date of our NYC VIP event with Professor Yunus to September 25 (Sunday), because he is receiving an award in Chicago that he can't miss on the 23rd. The email should include details about your coffee with Professor Yunus shortly.
We are also working hard to pull together a series of special screenings in New York, LA and hopefully beyond. We will be posting updates here:

Posted project update #2We're down to the final 3 hours!
Post CommentWe're down to the last three hours of our Kickstarter!We have been blown away by your support. So far we've had 107 backers pledging $16,284 to support the film. That's 81% of the way there! Thank you so, so much.
Funding has really picked up today, in these final few hours!
Thank you so so much to all of our backers, including some incredibly generous donors who have singlehandedly been putting this KickStarter within reach of our goal!
There are just three hours left to raise the last $3.8k... could you ask a friend to chip in, or donate in their name and collect from them later?If you are able to post a link to the project over social media, here's the link to use:Thanks so much for all of your help and support in these last few hours!

Posted project update #1Thank you from Gayle and Professor Yunus!
We've been so humbled by the response to our Kickstarter! Wow, 21 pledges:
- 1 pledge at the $1 level - Thanks!
- 5 pledges at the $10 level - Let me know if you'd like to remain anonymous, and I'll find a way more private way to thank you.
- 3 pledges at the $25 level - I have the Grameen America savings books ready for you. :-)
- 3 Backers at the $50 level - Your DVDs of To Catch A Dollar will be ready soon! We're targeting December.
- 4 backers at the $100 level - I'm so blown away by your support, and touched that you're interested in my other documentaries.
- 1 backer at $1000 - I can't wait to meet you, and take you out to coffee with Professor Yunus!
We have $2,278 in pledged funds so far, which is 11% of the way there! We are gaining momentum, but I'm worried that we won't be able to fund the project in time.
Can I ask that you help promote this film to your friends and family, by forwarding this email to your friends and family and asking for their support? Or you can post this Kickstarter link to Facebook or Twitter:
Either way, Professor Yunus and I would greatly appreciate your support!
Gayle
ps I'd love to learn more about you and how you found this Kickstarter... please let me know in the comments!

Hi Gayle. There are a bunch of us who heard about you in the Friends of Bob Harris lending team in Kiva. People regularly pass ideas around for interesting projects, and yours popped up. I hope the funding you need comes in! Here's a link to FoBH in Kiva: http://www.kiva.org/team/bobharrisdotcom
