Dear Vibha Supporters,

I am sure the Subject of the e-mail must have excited you. But we have some work to do before we can get $25,000 from Chase Community Giving. Those of you who are Facebook must have already stumbled up on this. Chase Community Giving is a program run by Chase that will allow Facebook users to vote for local charities and non-profits, and help direct Chase corporate philanthropy dollars to eligible organizations in the following focus areas: education, healthcare, housing, the environment, combating hunger, arts and culture, human services, and animal welfare. The grassroots campaign aims to inspire a new way of corporate philanthropy.

The eligible charity receiving the most votes will be awarded $1 million, the top five runners-up will receive $100,000 each and the 100 finalists, including the top winners, will be awarded $25,000 each . Additionally, a special Advisory Board led by prominent national philanthropists will allocate $1 million to the nominated charities of its choice. Chase will use Facebook to allow participants of the Chase Community Giving program to select local causes and organizations in need of support focused on the issues that matter most, enabling those organizations to make further tangible progress toward their missions. Voting for Round 1 ends December 11. Voting for Round 2 ends January 22, 2010 and the top charities will be announced on or around February 1.

Our first goal is to get $25,000, which means we need to be one of the top 100 charities voted on Facebook. $25,000 will help us support 25 Sikshana schools, or 25 Non Formal Education Centers run by Door Step School reaching out to more than 2500 children.

ALL WE NEED TO DO IS TO VOTE.. IT ONLY TAKES 20 SECONDS !!!!!
