PLAY YOUR PART BY MAKING A CONTRIBUTION TODAY Whether you're a student who loved your Reacting class, a supportive parent, or a professor inspiring students with Reacting: consider a contribution to keep this innovative pedagogy going and growing. Your gift makes a difference. This year our Day of Giving campaign focuses on game development and online resource management. Bringing you new titles and ancillaries to existing games has always depended on volunteer labor. Unsurprisingly, it also occasionally requires paying people. Our inability to pay digital content managers and copyeditors has, at times, slowed our ability to make new materials available. Please consider making a donation, so that we can do this important work. We also encourage you to share your reasons for giving by printing and filling out this sheet and sharing a selfie with the facebook faculty lounge or with us. This year, we invite you to donate an amount related to favorite games. For example, you may choose to give $4.03 (or $403) in honor of Athens 403 BCE, or $15.87 in honor of Confucianism in China, 1587, or $192.00 in honor of Egypt 1920s, etc. You can always type in your own custom gift amount referencing your favorite game. If you'd like to mention your game in the comments section, please do! We'll share which games had the most supporter support at the end of our fundraising push. You can specify an area to support: |
Accessibility and Inclusion Initiatives
Accessibility and Inclusion Initiatives support our students and instructors, educate our community, and sponsor our faculty to attend our conferences and workshops (our 'DEI funding'). We offer fully-funded and subsidized registration for instructors who are members of historically underrepresented and marginalized identity groups, and those teaching at minority-serving institutions (HBCUs, Tribal colleges and universities, AAPI and Hispanic-serving institutions). So far, your donations have helped over a dozen instructors attend our annual institute and other workshops, as well as paid for membership fees for others.
Game Development and Online Resources
Game Development Funds will help us pay editors and readers as new Reacting games are reviewed and moved through the development process and provide stipends to editors. These funds may also help with general new game author support.
Graduate Student and Adjunct Subsidies
Graduate Student and Adjunct Subsidies helps faculty at critical moments. You remember what it was like to be a new instructor, and we hope you remember the help you received along the way. Pay it forward by donating to help graduate students and adjuncts access this transformative pedagogy.
Reacting Brilliancy Prize
The Reacting Brilliancy Prize, modeled after the brilliancy prize in chess, is presented to a particularly ingenious or creative idea or pedagogical practice that advances Reacting games. Your donation helps us continue to recognize the innovators within our Reacting community. Read more about the prize.Tech, Web, and Video Development Funds
Tech, Web, and Video Development Funds will make possible all our dreams of video content for both students and instructors, but we can only do it with your help! Also, while we have already made major strides to update our website, we have reached the limits of staff knowledge, and hope to work with outside help to further improve our site and security.Wherever Reacting Most Needs It
Wherever Reacting Most Needs It! We are a lean and friendly organization (with only one full-time employee!), and we have a lot of goals and dreams of powerful content we hope to build for our community. Help us make it happen!The Reacting Consortium is a 501(c) (3) organization. Contributions are tax deductible.
Please note that donations are separate from registering for membership and paying membership dues.
YOUR GIFT MAKES A DIFFERENCE |
The Reacting Consortium relies in part on contributions from instructors, community members, student alums, and fans like you. Your donations support our mission to promote imagination, inquiry, and engagement as foundational feature in teaching and learning, and ensure that Reacting can continue to grow and serve. Since our initial fundraising drive to support Reacting Instructors from HBCUs, Tribal Colleges, and other minority-serving institutions, and instructors from historically-marginalized identities, your donations opened the door and payed the way for more than a dozen faculty members to register for our virtual and in-person workshops, as well as for the membership of new faculty across the globe. |
