IDEX would like to share with you details of Other Worlds, which invites you to learn more about them (details below).
All over the world, creative people are thinking outside the box and creating alternatives to the status quo, challenging conventional thinking about the ways in which economies, societies and cultures best function. These solutions are seeding another kind of world--one of solidarity rather than greed, of community self-determination rather than corporate control, of sustainability rather than destruction, and of peace rather than war. These alternatives take many different shapes and forms: food production that is healthy, sustainable and sovereign, energy production that is clean, local and renewable, health care that is affordable and accessible to all, and more.
Because we feel that learning about and supporting these models is so hugely important, we've created the Other Worlds Are Possible Giving Circle, to provide an opportunity for funders to learn about and support these global efforts, in the context of a diverse peer community of practitioners and funders who are all exploring this essential leading-edge work together. Now in its second cycle, this year's Giving Circle will have a special focus on Haiti, and on women.
If the Other Worlds are Possible Giving Circle sounds intriguing to you, and you would like to learn more about what we have planned for 2010, I would invite you to:
1. Follow this link to Other Worlds to see their brochure, examples of alternatives, and update on the 2010 cycle.
2. Contact Laurie Emrich, Program Coordinator, to talk more about it (202) 722-1903.
3. Participate in an information session, by phone. Call above, for details.
4. Share this information with anyone else who you think can use some inspiration and might be interested in participating!
