All right, dear Bethweek readers - a rare request for assistance!
I'm working on a project called "Yeah, Write Whatever!" (YWW) that we genuinely believe will positively impact kids' reading and writing skills. Our new nonprofit, Imagination Education, Inc., is partnering with Eyevox and the Mississippi Board of Education to make this happen. We have a great idea and the right partners.... and now, our YWW team has a really exciting opportunity in front of us - we're one of the projects competing for funding from American Express through their Members Project initiative - AND YOU CAN HELP US WIN!
It costs nothing, you don't have to be (or become) an American Express cardmember, and it literally takes about 3 minutes. (PLUS, if you want, you can watch our savvy little promo video, and you may recognize some of the faces....)
PLEASE, PLEASE go vote and help us make the Top 25 for funding consideration! Here's how:
1. Go to www.membersproject.com
2. On the top right, click on "Guest Members Login"
3. This will take you to the login page. At the bottom of the page, click "Guest Members sign up here."
4. Sign up! (They just ask for name, email, and to choose a password)
5. You can then "search projects." If you enter "Write" in the search box, "Yeah, Write Whatever" will turn up.
6. Nominate, leave a comment, and feel excellent about doing your good deed for the day!
A special note if you DO happen to be an American Express cardholder: as an AE cardmember, you get to vote all the way through the final round, so PLEASE bookmark our page and support "Yeah, Write Whatever!" all the way through!!
If you have any questions or want more information, email me, leave a comment on this blog, or give a shout!
Thank you.
