300467As you know, we are in the process of crowdsourcing $5000 in
order to research and draft a strategy handbook focused on identifying
and developing crowdsourcing models that support the financing of social
innovation and social movements.
Details for the crowdsourcing campaign can be found here:
In order to clearly explain the importance of the work that we are
doing and the role that you can potentially play as we move forward we
invite you to join us for our Thursday conversation where we will
address the following issues and questions:
- Why is there a funding gap for social innovators?
- How crowdfunding is connected to open collaboration models
- How open collaboration
models are connected to new forms of social organization and interaction
that will form the basis for how new institutions will form.
- How crowdfunding and open collaboration models will, therefore, be essential to bringing about positive social change.
We need your support in this extraordinarily important work that we
are undertaking and hope that you can join us on Thursday to get a
better feel for how we plan to move forward.
Regards,

'The counter cultural
revolution was a rhizomatic meshwork of loosely-coordinated,
loosely-affiliated struggles. The goals of these struggles weren’t
always complimentary, but the struggles were aligned and together they
staged a mass offensive to shatter the status quo'. - from The
