Thanks! I like the FAQ idea. Some years ago now, I realized that big ad agencies were my 20%, so I dropped the other 80% of my clients that were causing me stress and headaches. Now I get to enjoy a lot more free time to pursue other hobbies, while making even more than I used to make working full time...go figure :-P Elliott Great article. Thanks! I like the FAQ idea.

But what funds come in at such a slow rate, spread out over time, that they're forced to eat them in them in the form of rice (only rice) as the funds trickle in. If they could get funded all at once, it would change their ability to feed themselves. How much do they need? $1000. Yep, a thousand dollars for the whole project. So, if 20 people sat down and figured out the cost of one night out: dinner/movie/coffee/dessert, and gave that amount this week, the project would be funded immediately, and these kids would be able to learn with full bellies, and keep on producing their own food. We'll never get 100 people to give $10 each. But if we can get 20% of those people (20 people) to give $50 each, they're funded. Here's the project. I know it well, and have given to it before. Care to join me? http://www.givemeaning.org/project/newfutures or www.givemeaning.org/project/newfutures Oh, and pssst. Pass it on.
