apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

How it works:

Our goal at Apartment Therapy is to raise $10K by October 31. You can give any amount that you would like, and fund exactly what you like. Simply go to the Apartment Therapy Challenge Page and check out the items that need funding. A description of each project can be found along with how much is requested. If you would like to know more about DonorsChoose.org go here. If you would like to see the Social Media Challenge Page, go here. If you would like to ask us a question, email us at new york @ apartmenttherapy.com and put 'Social Media Challenge' in the subject.
