As I have shared with many of you previous, I am both humbled and thrilled that my MAU Now: Mobilize the Mamas, the Joy of Activism project was chosen in the top 100 of nearly 6,000 (!) initial proposals for projects on Citizen Engagement (based on a paper called Citizens at the Center)—called the Make It Your Own Awards, through the Case Foundation.
I am now in process of completing my full on grant, due Monday. One of the tools that I and the other 99 folks chosen were granted is a webpage and a widget– the widget does two things: allows each of us to market our idea virally, and to fundraise on TOP of (or instead of) grant money. If you go to the below site, you’ll see the outline of the project (see orange link for more on the project) AND the widget (you can give if you feel so led, OR share the widget on your blog, myspace / facebook / whatever page, or your website.) The widget is a little square that serves as a point of entry for giving or explaining. the technology is new to me, and really cool. You can also see the widget at my personal webpage below, in the righthand sidebar. Click through for more news.
In any case, I share here, in the event any of you feel led to learn more, or to contribute a few (or many!) dollars or by sharing news of the project. Should you like what you read on the website as it develops and as the project evolves out of the work I am already doing, and if my project is chosen in the next top group, I ask you to consider voting for my project to get funded. http://miyo.casefoundation.org/mau-now-mobilizing-mamas
Additionally, I ask that you share news of my project where it seems appropriate.
Yours for the JOYful revolution, mamas! Your support of this project does good for ALL of us, and the world’s children.
