The results are tallied, but before I announce the final winner of the GovLoop 2011 Charity Challenge, I just wanted to acknowledge all of the government member organizations that are giving groups of public sector professionals with common backgrounds and interests a place to connect and collaborate with their peers. GovLoop is proud to have partnerships or affiliations with many of them and we look forward to doing even more to strengthen the ecosystem that supports public servants in 2012.As part of our efforts, we’ve hosted a “Charity Challenge” each of the last two years. Last year, we gave a $5,000 donation to the Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund (FEEA). This year, we partnered with Federally Employed Women (FEW) and Young Government Leaders (YGL) to host a friendly competition that encouraged their members to simply click an “Awesome” button. In exchange, we’d give $5 for that sign of support.
Voting closed at 12p ET today and I’m happy to announce the following results:

In the end, both organizations win with the receipt of these donations to sustain their respective missions, but we also promised an extra $1,000 to the organization that amassed the most “Awesomes”…and that organization is FEW. So the bonus brings the grand total of their donation to $1,870.
Of course, these organizations ultimately win the most when they have vibrant, active memberships and we hope this donation drive sparked a little end of year pride and promotion. Thanks to all of you who participated over the last couple weeks.
Last thing: If you haven’t already, please join their groups here on GovLoop (…and guess what? I’ll bet they’d each love to have you as a member, so why not join both?).
