GEI and the GlobalGiving Open Challenge

We are excited to announce an exciting opportunity for Girls Education International! Girls Education International (GEI) has been selected by the Global Giving Foundation to participate in its Open Challenge, a fundraising opportunity for nonprofit organizations working around the world.  We have chosen to highlight our programs in Pakistan for this challenge.

In order to succeed in GlobalGiving’s Open Challenge, GEI must raise $4,000 from at least 50 unique donors by September 30, 2010. If we meet this challenge, we will be given a permanent spot on GlobalGiving’s website. Benefits of being represented by GlobalGiving include:

1) potential corporate relationships,
2) exposure to a new donor network,
3) access to dozens of online fundraising tools, and
4) the ability to list all of our current programs and future projects.

In addition, if we raise the most money or have the most donors among the nonprofits competing in this Open Challenge, we could earn as much as $3,000 in financial prizes!

Please help us by visiting our page at GlobalGiving and making a tax deductible donation today. Not only will your donation help GEI continue our program in Pakistan, but, it will help us take advantage of a long-term fundraising opportunity!

We’re also going to need your help spreading the word! Please share this opportunity with your friends and family! You can send them to our GlobalGiving page or to our newly improved website!

Thank you, as always, for your continued support,

The GEI Team and all the GIRLS!
