Web of Change

Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to vote for our proposal at GiveMeaning. We were able to reach the required 100 votes fairly handily, and are now ready to receive donations to our Diversity Scholarship Fund.

If you share our vision of a diverse movement of people and organizations harnessing the power of technology to change the world, then please click here and donate to the Web of Change Diversity Fund.

We have been doing a lot of outreach around North America, tapping into networks of people doing brilliant transformational social change work, online and off. For many of them, the cost of attendance is just too high, but we feel it's a priority to ensure they attend. 

We need you to vote for our proposal at GiveMeaning, so that we can start raising money for our Diversity Fund!

We believe strongly that it is important that Web of Change offer a more inclusive environment than many of the other tech conferences out there. The conversation about the best ways to use technology to bring about lasting social change needs to include as wide a range of voices as possible – not just those who can afford to be there.

Framing Question:
Is it more important to concentrate on Fundraising? Or message?

Key is Finding affinity networks.

Came from United Way, I’m interested in Social Network Fundraising – not the Rich folks asking rich folks … tired of that model
Pledge based special events, Breast Cancer Run – at the end of the day – its an individual – and that individual would be a fundraiser”
