Charity Section under Helping
How do we promote charity as way of life? How do we overcome complacency, lack of time and energy in a hectic 9 to 5 society ? How do we set charity as culture, as natural thought?
Must have an article or a few on how to make charity:
1.easy, convenient
thru the web and mobile phone since the web is efficient in organizing your time and matching your skills and needs to those who wants help.
1. non-time consuming with the web and phone and collaboration, simple viral $1 fundraising campaign on the web or phone that offers gifts like film, picture, songs or anything celebrity autographed etc. Reach mass audience rapidly since it is viral.
2. not expensive monetary wise, even a $1 counts collectively
3. fun – filled with fun events, parties, games, celebrities involvement and auctions, meaningful autographed prizes, trophies
Even shopping or playing cards save lives (use sexiest man article)
4. competitive – why cant charity be like a sports or business with global ranking where philanthropists big or small compete for best ideas, best execution of charity ideas, best collaboration in ideas and efforts
5. young and sexy, cool – the new cool ( use the article on how to be the sexiest person alive) or even stay young forever (read sexiest man article on eternal youth)
6. New way to meet like-minded people as friends or even soulmates
7. importance of charity as culture, way of life, natural thought, first nature (refer to Perfection article)
8. the importance of the media to set charity culture (read Perfection article)
9. the power of just helping one person, the one next door or closest in proximity, and passing the effort forward
10. the power of recognition of helping others equals helping yourself as we are all the same as one – crucial for achieving completeness of self and understanding of love and true happiness
11. importance of accountability of reputable charities - audits and report on efficiency of charities thru “charity navigator”. Contributors hate having their money scammed or have their money spent on wine and cheese.
12. Multiple ways to help
a.money – ease of contribution thru the web
b. time and effort to mentor/coach, help someone physically, help organize charity events or even a minimal effort of just casting your vote collectively on the web, such as www.one.org, to influence event outcomes that save lives etc The power of the collective with minimal effort thru the web!!
c. help fundraise for charities or events
Charity Collaborate section – help bridge the talent and resources between non-profit and for profit/corporate/public community, between the venture capital world, private equity, hedge fund, management consulting world, to synchronize the brains and efforts to promote efficiency and barter of services/resources and elimination of excesses.
A section on how the web and use of wiki can change all that ( will give u back the brand hijack book and wikinomics bk so to include some info)
