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 Laurie and thanks so much for your donation! We just received it. So sorry we didn't get it in time for you to vote during the last grant cycle, but we'll be giving away another $5000 grant in January and look forward to your help deciding which nonprofit most deserves it. In the meantime, I hope your holidays are joyful and again, welcome to the circle! Anna

Hi and welcome to 5 for Fairness. I'm Anna, the founder. The next time you come back to the site, you'll be prompted to make your minimum $5 donation to our collective grant account. When you do, you'll be a full-fledged 5fer for life (unless you unsubscribe from our email list!) and be able to vote to decide the winner of our current - and all future - grants. 100% of your tax-deductible donation will go help seed our next grant.
Right now, we are getting ready to give a grant away, which means that Teams representing different organizations working on behalf of girls are telling their stories to our members and trying to garner support. There is a "like" button on each Team page and if you want to show your support for one, or ask a question of the Team leaders, click it to access the Team page. Formal voting to determine the winner of this grant starts on 11/22 and runs to 11/28. The winner will be announced on 11/30, we'll cut them a big check, and start the whole process over again. In the meantime, we'll be sending you email newsletters with updates throughout the grant cycle including one telling you it is time to come back and vote for your favorite. Thanks again for joining!
Anna
PS If you have any questions about how things work, I'm here (well, on my page) to answer them!
