I found a fabulous site for women who want to change the world. Vivanista is a social network set up to empower Philanthropic Women.
If you're looking for fundraising ideas for your favourite charity, school or community group than all the information you need is here. There is a fantastic library of fundraising resources - and a great community of women all willing to share their fundraising experience with you.
If living an altruistic lifestyle is important to you, then Vivanista is a great place to go for inspiration, to help you take effective action and to make a real impact on the world! Make sure you look me up when you get there :)
Contribune is an awesome new site that allows you to post news, videos, journal entries or other information about your favourite causes in order to inspire others to action - whether that be to donate, sign a petition, volunteer or . . .
Its still in beta - so you have to apply for an invite to join up. But it sure looks like a great way for Charities & Activists to get exposure for their cause.
Check it out here . . . and follow them on twitter to stay in the loop as they continue to develop their site.
Twitter really is a great place to do good! Epic Change have used it to great effect with their Tweetsgiving campaign, then there was Twestival successfully raising $250,000 for Charity:Water and TwittaCause working to raise $1 million for charity. Now there are Twollars!
Twollars are Twitter's currency of appreciation. They are designed to do good by rewarding positive actions on Twitter - posting a great link, sharing a useful tip or inspiring tweet.
How do you get them?
Every Twitterer starts off with 5o Twollars to pass on to other Twitterers as a Thank You or donate to Charity. When you run out you can buy more from a Charity registered on Twollar (so far there are 27 to choose from) at an exchange rate of $1 for every 10 Twollars.
Passing them on is easy - all you do is tweet something along the lines of @acfusa 5 Twollars for doing great work.
Twollars is a great way to help out some great charities even if you have no funds to donate. It offers charities an opportunity to raise awareness for their cause by having supporters tweeting Twollars to them. Its also a great way to launch a campaign via Twitter - supporters can help by tweeting Twollars or by purchasing them for cold, hard cash.
