The $5 philanthropist

I'm very thankful for the kind words and messages of support I've received from people watching the Hour last night. Overnight, we've received dozens of new "proposals" for fundraising ideas at GiveMeaning.

Before we accept fundraising for a new proposal, we first require the proposal to collect 100 votes of support within 30 days of it being posted on the site.

This process of collecting votes helps us ensure that there is enough support for a new proposal.

It's up to the person who submitted the proposal to recruit those votes amongst their own social network of potential supporters.

So if you've submitted a proposal, thank you! Now it's time to start recruiting support for your idea. By simply emailing a link to your proposal, and asking them to vote, you can get the ball rolling.

Lastly, a lot of people have asked what they can do to help GiveMeaning. In all honesty, the best way to help us is to make a tax-deductible donation in support of our operating costs. You can donate online through GiveMeaning by clicking here

Taped the Hour this evening and now back at the hotel watching it online. The link I posted below in an earlier blog entry has the entire interview on their website.

I really enjoyed meeting George. He's a great guy, great mind.

If you're reading this blog entry having watched the show and have questions for me, don't hesitate to post them here on the blog or email me at tom [@] givemeaning [dot] com.

Thanks for watching.

I'm in Toronto rushing to a meeting but wanted to share that I'm going to be interviewed on the Hour tonight. It airs at 11pm on CBC.

Here's the promo clip which apparently doesn't work on a Mac.
