I’m with an Ottawa-based international social justice organization called Inter Pares (www.interpares.ca), which works in partnership with organizations around the world who are promoting positive social transformation in their societies. We have developed a site called “Give Something Big” (www.givesomethingbig.com) to encourage donations to our organization in exchange for holiday cards. (The name plays on the idea of “giving” the concepts which are our main goals – peace, social justice, and equality – and that they are too big to be wrapped.) When visitors make a gift to the campaign, they receive up to ten printed or electronic cards; they can add their photo to their e-cards, or even create their own through mixing and matching the different gifts and characters. I’ve attached an image of our one of our cards to give you a taste of their look and feel. We are looking to generate some word-of-mouth publicity by asking like-minded bloggers if they would spread the word by writing a post about our campaign, embedding our video, and/or posting a button on their blog. Would you be interested? We are able to offer two thank-you gifts in exchange: offering you a link to send up to ten free cards of your own without making a donation, and, if you are interested in publicity for your blog, publicity through the Hello Cool World network (www.hellocoolworld.com), which is the distributor for progressive documentaries like The Corporation and has an audience of over 60,000 like-minded people (mostly in North America). Please have a look at our site, www.givesomethingbig.com, to see if it’s something you would find worth publicizing, and feel free to e-mail me at smcgavin@interpares.ca or call at 613.563.4801. Thanks so much. I came across this posting, and thought that you might be interested in an alternative holiday giving site I’ve been working on.
