Donate to TweetForHabitat.com Thursday and your donations will be matched

If you go to the TweetForHabitat.com website and make a direct donation between 12 AM and 11:59 PM this Thursday, your donation will be matched.

TweetForHabitat is a program that plans to use Twitter to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity to build a house for a family in Memphis.  The program was launched by Brian Swanson of the Purple Ant software/web dev company, and on Thursday Purple Ant will match donations made to the website.

Note that only donations made through their website will be matched.  They have an ongoing corporate sponsorship program where every tweet containing the #Tweet4Habitat hashtag raises .09 in funds.  Those won’t be matched, but what you could do is tweet the address of the website (www.TweetForHabitat.com) to direct people there, and then include the hashtag to kick in an extra 9 cents.
