Social Actions: $20,009 for 2009!
If you know me, you know I'm a card-carrying fan of Social Actions and one of their full-time team members.
Social Actions has just launched a campaign to collect $20,009 for 2009, and over the next several weeks I'll be writing to EVERYONE I know asking for their support.
If you know me and haven't already received an email, it's just a matter of time! :)
So I'm sharing my note here, in case you want to read it now, make a donation, and conserve email-traffic energy.
Thanks all, for considering my sincere request:

Hello!
I’m writing to ask for your help in supporting Social Actions’ campaign to collect $20,009 for 2009.
http://www.socialactions.com/2009-fundraiser
Each dollar we collect will go directly to expanding the scope and size of our database of actions, creating new ways to share actions, and developing the Social Actions API that brings all of those actions together.
More specifically, as Peter recently blogged, we’ve set 9 goals for Social Actions to achieve in 2009. Each is ambitious, absolutely attainable, and inspires me to work as hard as I can daily to see them realized:
* Collecting actions from at least 100 sources and distributing them across 1000 domains in at least 3 languages;
* Advocating opensource methods for tracking impact;
* Educating on best practices and trends;
* Developing open standards for describing online actions in appropriately nuanced detail, so people can quickly find the ones that are most relevant to them;
* And much, much more.
To meet the financial needs associated with this work going forward, we’re pursuing foundation grants, event sponsorships, consulting services, and other income-generating ideas.
This campaign is timed to provide funds as those income-sources come together, but the invitation to contribute financially to Social Actions is also beautifully consistent with Social Actions’ mission and commitment to open, inclusive, peer-to-peer philanthropy.
I absolutely love the image of Social Actions’ work being held up – made possible – by thousands of individuals and organizations who find value in what we’re doing.
If you’d like to be a part of what we’re building in this way, please make a donation in whatever amount is right for you. There’s a convenient online donation widget on our site (of course!) with a list of $20.09+ contributors and their reasons for giving:
