Helping those who need it most - Directly. The 1k Project uses personal networks to directly match a family impacted by the pandemic with a family committed to giving them $1k for 3 months.
Hey Product Hunt, excited to have The $1k Project on here today.
We started The $1k Project just two weeks ago with an amazing team of 30 volunteers.
Today, we've funded 70 families across 31 states. Our mission is to connect families impacted by this pandemic with sponsors who commit to giving them $1k a month for 3 months as a bridge before more assistance gets to them. We are thrilled to launch on Product Hunt and to open up to a broader community.
Nominate families who need help in your community at 1kproject.org and share the message.

@alexiskold Hi Alex,
first of all thanks for your contribution to the community.
I am documenting journey of makers, creators, entrepreneurs through out the world.
The goal is to do a short interview, capture it in video, and let it out to the world, so that others can get inspiration. And also to get an acknowledgement, for you, and for your hustle.
I would like to request you to send me you availability for short interview if you are interested at tellmeaboutit510{at}gmail.com .
Thanks, and good luck!

Nice work @alexiskold and the entire volunteer team behind this project. This is a great project with a direct impact to families that need a little bit of assistance. Much better executed than the PPP loans ;-)
