join us Friday, February 7 at the Nonprofit Commons in Second Life for “Grant Seeking for Virtual World Nonprofits” with Alyse M. Dunavant-Jones, an independent Digital Curation / Asset Management Consultant and Assistant Director for the Community Virtual Library, a project under the 501(c)(3) nonprofit New Media Arts, Inc.
Grants are a Nonprofit’s best friend. In fact, many funders only invest in nonprofits and their projects. So why are grants so elusive for virtual world-based nonprofits? Based on her experience grant seeking for the Community Virtual Library, Alyse will explain challenges for virtual world nonprofits, the types of information funders expect, project-types that appeal to funders, and steps to take before grant seeking. Alyse will also share free resources for grant seeking and writing.
Join us in Second Life!

Join Nonprofit Commons Friday, January 17th for an interactive field trip of the Hero’s Walk with Ludova / Eleanor Ide. The Hero Walk is a quest reflection for people to explore their own lives using the teachings of Joseph Campbell’s “Hero with 1000 Faces” and Max Luscher’s “The Luscher Color Test”.
