Hi Erica,

I’m the co-founder of Women LEAD, one of the teams competing for the grant this month. I’d love your support to empower more than 200 young women in Nepal to become leaders in their schools and communities! Your vote would help us build the capacity of future female leaders to tackle the root causes of poverty and discrimination. Our organization strongly believes that building young women's confidence and skills is key to empowerment. Please check out our page and website to see the work that we do and let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Hi Erica,

I'm Eliza, a 5fer intern and I am here to ask you to help us get to our next $5000 grant.  We are only $1,857 away but in order to get there, we need every member to donate another $5 dollars. If we each chip in just a little, we will get there easily. To donate via Paypal, click here. Thank you for your support!

Hello Erica! If you have a moment I was hoping you would come by and check out the team page for Orchid project. Orchid project's goal is to end the practice of female genital cutting. If you are inspired by what you see we welcome your support and would love it if you would become a member of our team!

 

Thanks!

Hi,

My name is Payton M, I am a 5 For Fairness intern. I’m stopping by to let you know that now is the time to support your favorite team or teams to help them advance into the voting round. Seven teams are competing for five available spots in the voting round. The five teams that make it to the voting round will have a chance to win our $5000 grant, but only one team will win. The teams need your support now to make it into the voting round.  Here's how to support a Team:

First click on the Teams tab at the top of any page to see all of the teams. Click on any team that sounds interesting to you. If you like what you see and want to become a supporter, click the +Support (Team name) button in the upper right hand corner of the Team page. You can support as many Teams as you think deserve a spot in the Voting Round. Click here for more information on how to support a Team or, if you are ready to start, click here to see all the Teams.

 

Thanks for supporting 5 For Fairness, 

Payton M. 

Hi Erica,

Hope you will look at what we are doing at www.rowla.org. We at RowLA are using the Marina del Rey waters as a waterway to college for the inner city girls of LA. Please come and VOTE for us by going to VOTE HERE above.

Hey Erica! Please take a moment and come checkout the WriteGirl team and read about this amazing organization. If you like what you see we hope you will consider joining our team!

Hi there. I'm Eliza, one of the 5 for Fairness interns, and I want to make sure you knew that we are about to start a new voting round and decide where to send our second 5 for Fairness grant. I'm here today to ask you to join at least one Team that you think deserves a grant. The Teams that are in the running are MOSTE (Motivating Our Students Through Experience), Help the Afghan Children, Man Up, Global Fund for Women, Women's Empowerment in Uganda and Global Girl Media

In order to recapture the site's vitality and to give the newer Teams a fair chance, we hope that you will take a minute of your time and join a team today. Thank you.

My dear Ms. Lindberg Gourd, I just realized that a)as far as our records are concerned, you have not yet donated your $5 donation and b)we need your holiday photo for our Holiday Album, which if you have not seen it, is kinda great. If you simply want to donate, click here. If you would like to donate and make your holidays easier, click here. And to add your photograph to our album of folks envisioning a fair new world, click here.xoxo

Hi there Erica!
We have been making progress here on 5 for Fairness! For one thing, we now have a few Teams (projects that members are proposing we support with our first $5000 grant.) If you have a minute to take a look at the teams that have been started so far, please know that you can join as many teams as you feel worthy of your support and then, when it comes time to vote (when our Grant Account reaches $5000), you can pick your favorite. Speaking of which, according to my records, we have not received your $5 contribution to our Grant Account yet. You can contribute via Paypal or Pincwhich supports multiple currencies, or by writing a check. We are getting close to our first $5000 grant and are looking forward to giving it away. Thanks again for joining.
