News about Narrow the Gap Fund 2013!
The Numbers
With the support from over 60 good-hearted individuals and companies, the Narrow the Gap Fund has collected $5,000! We thank all of you for helping us bring hope to our city’s children!
However, we still need your help to reach our goal of $15,000 before September. You can help by inviting your friends and colleagues to donate by sharing a link to NTG page on Global Giving or by Sharing NTG Facebook page.
The Projects
14 local not-for-profit organizations submitted their projects to receive grants from the Narrow the Gap Fund 2013. All of these NPOs work with children facing difficult circumstances: some are working with street children, some are caring for orphans, some help children with disabilities or medical conditions and more. Just as the challenges facing children in our city are diverse and numerous, so too are the programs being offered by the NPOs.
LIN’s volunteer Grant Evaluation Committee is now working hard to select five (5) project proposals that they feel are the most impressive based on need, objectives, viability and impact. After that, from August 15-22, it will be the community’s turn –your turn – to vote for your favorite project online. Meet the members of the Grant Evaluation Committee online.
The People
In July, the team of Blah Blah Film Production donated their time and skills to help LIN shed light on the real people and real organizations behind the Narrow the Gap Fund 2013. Quite often images speak louder than words. To view this 2 minute beautiful video, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9kd3qJoQKE&feature=youtu.be.
Thank you for helping us bring hope to our city’s disadvantaged children!
Together we can build a strong community!
