Idea Starter: HomecomingBlitz for World AIDS Day 2008
Is anyone doing anything for World AIDS Day (12/1/08), or open to a voluntary industry-wide proposal? Does anyone remember when Pastor Rick Warren's asked this question during the presidential debates?
"...there are 148 million orphans worldwide, would you commit to a plan for them, as Bush did for AIDS?"
Realtors alone cannot implement an emergency plan for AIDS orphans, but they can INVITE MILLIONS OF CLIENTS to make donations to existing non-profit organizations through an annual, friendly fund raising campaign using profits or savings from real estate transactions online.
Think of it as a real estate version of (Product)RED.
If you are interested, please take 10 minutes to flip through this slide show:
ASAP: AIDS Shelter Alliance Partners
If you're prepared to do something quickly before World AIDS Day, would you be interested in participating in some kind of visibility campaign at the Harvard / Yale Game this year to let 40,000+ alumni know they can save money on real estate transactions while savings lives?
If you are interested in adapting this idea for your company or local market during 2009, please watch the video and scan the proposed annual, friendly fund raising competition on this wiki. DRAFT Pledge Challenge forms for alumni or city-wide fund raising campaigns can be downloaded from the site.
One way to expand ASAP's impact, or any other charitable campaign, is to partner with existing funding sources. For example, David Rockefeller recently donated $70 million to Harvard to support international learning experiences. Part of that was set aside to seed new ideas through the President's Innovation Fund for International Experience. Imagine the fund raising potential of the proposed ASAP campaign if every donation made by a home buyer or seller was matched by the Innovation Fund to subsidize student volunteers working with AIDS orphans.
That's just one idea. Add your dream project, or your favorite cause or charitable campaign to this fledgling social network for ePhilanthropy and Cause Marketing in Real Estate:
Thank you for considering this idea starter, and please continue to share your own.
