*The Catalyst Campaign: Donate Now to Help Fund CC’s Catalyst Grants*
We’re thrilled today to announce the launch of the Catalyst Campaign – from
now through June 30, Creative Commons is raising money to fund our
recently-launched Catalyst Grants
<http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Grants>program.

Catalyst Grants will make it possible for individuals and organizations to
harness the power of Creative Commons. A grant might enable a group in a
developing country to research how Open Educational Resources can positively
impact its community. Another could support a study of entrepreneurs using
Creative Commons licenses to create a new class of socially responsible
businesses. Anyone may apply for a Catalyst Grant, which ranges from
$1,000-$10,000.

But we can't do it without your
help.<https://support.creativecommons.org/donate>Our goal is to raise
$100,000 from CC supporters like you to fund the grants
that will make all this possible. Donate today to help spread our mission of
openness and innovation across all cultural and national boundaries.

*Thanks to the Milan Chamber of Commerce *which has generously donated EUR
10,000 to jumpstart the effort!

*Will you join in?*

Grants program on your blog and social networks with our

these bright and cheerful, limited edition “I Love to Share” t-shirts. Every
