On Monday, April 14, 2014, just after midnight ET, Midnight Breakfast raised its goal of $12,000 to help pay contributors and maintain the website for a full year. We were absolutely blown away by all the support for our crowdfunding efforts, not just monetarily, but through hundreds of tweets, Facebook posts, mentions on Tumblr, and even old school, word-of-mouth whispers. We could not have done this without the backing of such a gracious community of readers and writers, and we sincerely thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts.
The first year of Midnight Breakfast has been made possible by generous donations from the following individuals:
- Barbara Barnes
- Erin Barnes
- Georgia Bellas
- Geoff Bendeck
- Kelly Bergin
- Tim Berryman
- Payton Biddington
- Luke Dani Blue
- Anastasia Bosakowski
- Sari Botton
