Just a quick note to let you know that Epic Change has officially been “blogged!” Jason Dick, the blogger behind the fundraising site A Small Change interviewed yours truly and published a two-part series. If you’re interested, you can check out his posts here and here.
It’s truly amazing to connect in cyberspace. I originally met Jason through a question I submitted on LinkedIn. More recently, a writer contacted us after googling the phrase “make a difference” and finding Epic Change; she’s already interviewed us and several folks in Tanzania, and is currently writing an article to help us spread the word. Just last week, as a result of our participation in the Net2 competition, we also had the opportunity to connect with micro-philanthropy expert Peter Deitz from Social Actions, who’s expressed interest in our Story-Powered Activism idea. On VolunteerMatch, we’ve had offers of assistance from across the globe, from Dar Es Salaam to Guatemala to North Carolina.
While we didn’t win the IdeaBlob or Net2 competitions as we might have liked, every thread we’ve sent into cyberspace has yielded access to a vast new network of ideas and resources. We hope you, too, will continue to pass the word along via email and your social networks, like one of our favorite Epic Change social networkers, Laura Gordon.
You never know whose desktop we might land on next :)
