Despite a continued downturn in the steem price and the steem activity during August I am delighted that A Dollar A Day actually managed to increase its donations compared with July - both in terms of total SBD (up 17%) and US$ equivalent (up 1%).
The total US$ equivalent of donations given out during August again topped $500 at $519.22.
This brings the total donated since the project started to well over US$ 3000.
August also saw an increased number of projects receiving the daily donations (15), an increasing number of steemians donating SBD or steem (34), an increasing number of people delegating to the 
account (12) and an increasing number of witnesses becoming Witness Supporters of the project (8).
We also set up a curation trail for which was admirably explained in a post by

I have also recently produced a post about Five Ways You Can Support A Dollar A Day :

Fifteen different projects in nine different countries received donations from the project.

Donations were received from 34 steemians during August, this included a growing number of Witness Supporters.

DELEGATIONS RECEIVED
During August I am happy to report that A Dollar A Day 
I have also delegated half my steem power (5000 SP) to the account.
The account is being used to autovote once a day (currently at 100%) all the donation recipients to give them extra help.
A small autovote is also given as a token of appreciation to the people regularly donating or delegating to the project.
If anyone else would like to delegate to this account to build up the voting strength it would be much appreciated.

HOW TO SUPPORT A DOLLAR A DAY
The A Dollar A Day project is based on the simple idea of people donating one Steem Backed Dollar (SBD) each day. Those SBDs are pooled to give to a bigger daily donation to a good cause around the world.
If you would like to support the work of A Dollar A Day there are five ways you can help :
1. Donate SBDs to
Just send SBDs for however many days you would like to support to
2. Donate steem to
If you don't have SBDs send steem instead to
3. Delegate to
A Dollar A Day uses SteemAuto to vote on the posts of all the projects currently supported to provide an extra regular income. The aim is to achieve sufficient steempower to provide a $1 upvote to each project each day.
Delegations of all sizes are welcome - you can use these links for quick delegations :
| 50SP | 100SP | 250SP | 500SP | 1000SP | 2000SP | 5000SP |

Delegators (and regular donors) also receive a small auto-vote as a token of appreciation.
