[Rubyforchange-talk] Potential source for projects

[Ben Scofield]

Hi all,

One of our PMs at Viget is heavily involved in the non-profit community, so
I asked her what she might suggest. Here's what she replied:

Check out this list of projects that were submitted for Netsquared grants a
couple of months ago:

http://www.netsquared.org/projects/n2y2-featured
-projects<http://www.netsquared.org/projects/n2y2-featured-projects>

Essentially, a bunch of non-profs wrote up proposals and people voted on
which ones deserved funding. The top 3 projects got decent grants
($10-25,000), but the others got around $3,000 each. There's a section where
they describe what help they still need. The full list of proposals is here:

http://www.netsquared.org/projects/proposals

As far as the projects go, I know Ivan Boothe at the Genocide Intervention
Network would be a great person to work with (
http://www.netsquared.org/projects/proposals/anti
-genocide-community-building
-political-will-end-genocide<http://www.netsquared.org/projects/proposals/anti-genocide-community-building-political-will-end-genocide>).
Mickey Panayiotakis, who works with Grassroots.org , would be a good contact
for this one:  http://www.netsquared.org/projects/proposals/grassroots
-org-toolbox<http://www.netsquared.org/projects/proposals/grassroots-org-toolbox>
 .

If you don't see anything there, I can ask my listserv to pitch projects.

She's actually coming down here (to Durham) this weekend, and we're planning
on talking about this in greater depth, so if anyone has anything they'd
like me to bring up with her feel free to drop me an email.
