"This wiki is being developed into a resource for non-profit organisations in South Africa, giving insight into social media tools, and giving local examples of how these tools are being applied within this sector. The majority of this information stems from discussions and panels from the Sangonet '09 Conference held in Johannesburg and Cape Town in October. This wiki stems from workshops held in 2009 run by The African Commons Project in collaboration with Sangonet, providing training to NGOs on how to use social media to have conversations with their constituents and stakeholders. Thus, this wiki space includes the outline of the workshop, content, resources, and practical sessions attached to each workshop. "

We give Citizen Philanthropists the ability to choose their project, leverage their social networks, and communicate directly with their partner community. We are also providing our field partners the tools they need to actively manage their projects so they can seamlessly share information with Citizen Philanthropists and directly report on the impact projects are having on the ground. Citizen Philanthropists are powerful community builders. They help their partners across the world build more self-reliant and sustainable communities. But they also build stronger communities here at home by bringing people together for a common cause and promoting civic engagement. We believe giving and community building should be a central part of everyone's life, not something left to weekends or annual drives.

Just got an email back from Dan Morrison the CEO and Founder of Citizen Effect (quite impressed at the response time - 11 minutes). He says, "Hey Justin, we vet all of our partners so to post a project, you have to go through the due diligence and vetting process first. If you have a great group in mind, please let us know and put them on touch with us"

InVenture provides expansion capital to successful micro-businesses and becomes their partner, not their creditor. By partnering with businesses and investing in their potential, we allow businesses to take on the risk of larger scale innovations without a constant fear of failing and being unable to repay their debt. These risks can yield greater rewards and bigger growth than through traditional micro-credit financing. And bigger growth means more job creation and more lasting development for communities that are stuck in cycles of poverty.
