Giving Because It Hurts

It didn't come without a little bit of pain but I threw in another $1,000 yesterday to put Young Manhattanite over Curbed on the final day of the Donors Choose Blogger Challenge. (It will be a very slim Hanukkah for Krucoff nieces and nephews this year.) Special thanks to Peter B. for the early help and everyone else like Janelle, Greg, Eileen, Lawrence, Robert, Mom, etc. who pitched in.

YM might not have the $1.5 million in financing that Curbed recently received, but our ad-free investment portfolio is comprised of stocking bookshelves, communal bonds, mutual understanding and assets in English as a foreign language.

Oh, nice to see Slate get in on the philanthropy coverage. Good stuff except for the fantasy league which was graduate-level econonsensical bullshit.
