Call for action II

Organisations are invited to put their contact details and information about their mission, programs and projects on the website www.sportanddev.org for free. This will help networking and support developing partnerships.

Call for action III

The conference organisers invite all NGOs active in the field of gender equity in sport for social change, to go online on Global Giving. Nike financed the launch of the sports section on Global Giving and will help drive traffic to the site. The 4.5 bln dollar market of online charity becomes accessible by starting a page on www.globalgiving.com/sport.html Global Giving has as valuable proposition a strong focus on 'due diligence'. This is a very important selling point for donors. Fill out the necessary forms and provide the information needed. Being online together helps to create a movement and a strong voice. Nike, through the Sport for Social Change Network, is offering ten $1.000 grants in the name of the late Geoffrey Chege, CARE International's East Africa Regional Director. The grant is open to projects appearing on the website and is firstcome, first-awarded to projects receiving donations from 25 new donors after February 9, 2007. Once a project has recruited 25 new donors, a $1.000 donation will be made to the project in Chege's name.
