Joining on to help with either or both of these efforts will help MickaCoo AND Mickaboo upon which we rely SO much. Please- say Yes to helping us to keep helping these birds! e ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lee, Pamela A Date: Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 8:24 AM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Mickaboo volunteer request - social networking fundraising To: discuss@mickaboo.org We have two opportunities for volunteers to help Mickaboo with social-networking-based fundraising efforts. 1) GlobalGiving (*http://www.globalgiving.org/*http://www.globalgiving.org/) connects qualified nonprofits with people and corporations who have time, money, or goods to give. Those who give have a way of receiving progress updates from the nonprofits so the donors can see how their money makes a difference. A nonprofit like Mickaboo qualifies for inclusion in GlobalGiving by a) filing paperwork (being done as we type) and b) raising $4000 from at least 50 donors through GlobalGiving’s site in a month. This last is a social networking way of “proving out” the nonprofit’s value proposition. If we qualify, we earn the right to stay in the GlobalGiving network “forever”, thereby gaining another way of keeping our message visible and, as importantly to our survival, a way of attracting newer donors. We need a volunteer to lead the fundraising effort - tracking progress toward the required $4000/50 donors, maintaining the excitement around the campaign, helping people on Discuss and their networks persuade others ( optimally NEW donors) to contribute, etc. The fundraising event occurs the month of April 2011; preparation for the event should start in March. 2) Pepsi Refresh – we all remember Elizabeth’s efforts to get us to vote online, every day, throughout January to win a grant. We did not win a grant in Feb – that said, we collectively learned a lot, including the value of reciprocal voting alliances and advance preparation. Mickaboo would like to re-enter the next round of grant competition in April 2011. Whether we do so depends on whether we can identify a leader to a) solidify the alliances already identified by Elizabeth b) cheerlead! c) strategize and execute on ways to get the votes we need. The pre-grant competition work should start in March for maximum effectiveness. ** If you would like to volunteer to lead either or both of these important efforts, please contact me directly at *pambudgie@yahoo.com*.
