5/25/08 [Kelsey Ruger/Erica O'Grady] - Adopt a Non-Profit?
The Idea: Have 3 to 4 non-profits present at the beginning of the day (elevator pitch style) about their mission and goals. Have BarCamp attendees vote on which one we would like to raise money for during the event and adopt for the next year, with the intention of having BarCamp participants help them out with infrastructure, web site, misc technology needs, marketing, social media, etc. as needed during the year. We would need to start looking for nominees shortly. Thoughts on this idea?
5/25/08 Geri Druckman - PenguinAid.
Though it's in its early stages, we are working on the website and at the same time on the legal side with a lawyer to create an official NPO and 501(c)(3). By the time of BarCampHouston3 it should all be ready to go. I will be more than happy to present PenguinAid.
