GlobalGiving Competition and what to expect
The second annual GES-GlobalGiving Project Challenge is live, here's what you can expect
http://www.globalgiving.com/cge.html
For the second year in a row, the Global Engagement Summit has teamed up with the GlobalGiving Foundation to offer our GES2008 alumni the chance to compete to raise funds and engage their supporters in an effort to have permanent listing and fundraising assistance at www.globalgiving.com
This year, about 15 student projects ranging from English Education in Papa New Guinea to IT training in Rwanda to International Business education in Argentina are actively hunting for support. These projects represent some of the most innovative and creative approaches young people are taking to changing the world.
The projects have the next couple weeks to engage as many supporters as they can. At the end of the competition, the two projects with the most dollars raised and one project selected by the GES student staff will be awarded winners and invited to continue fundraising on the GlobalGiving site. Additionally, they will share in $7,000 of bonus prizes provided by GES and GlobalGiving. This year, GlobalGiving will also invite any project that raises $4,000 or more from 100 or more donors to stay on the site until their fundraising objectives have been achieved.
During the next couple weeks of the competition, we'll be inviting the delegates who are promoting these projects to share more information with you, our readers, on this blog. Stay tuned!
