Review for 5 For Fairness, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I've been a member of 5 for Fairness since summer, 2009 and have been so impressed by the way the foundation is set up, the way it has grown into an international community and how we members really do help make life better for girls, around the word. The internet has allowed us to be an interactive community, a philanthropic foundation with zero overhead whose members range in age from 15 to 85! Every member is able to nominate a non-proft program they admire, as long as it is dedicated to helping girls. Every member can get involved by inviting new members, raising money, and adding videos, informative links and inspiring personal stoires to our website. And every member has a say (a vote) in chosing our grantee, once we raise the $5,000.00 grant we give away. We set out to try and make the world a better place and we find that it is each of us who is changed by the experience.

I've seen our fledgling community grow into an international group, taken part in nominating recipients of our grant, and taking part in the voting process, been gratified to see two excellent programs benefit from our grant, gotten to know many new people who are committed to giving their time and talent to this worth while cause.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I would encourage even more members to contribute time and creative energy to make the Five for Fairness site ever richer in its discussions.

Role:  Volunteer & I've helped organize and publicize a new on-line only philanthropic foundation called Five for Fairness.
