Catalyst Campaign: Donate Now to Help Fund CC’s Catalyst Grants</b><br>
<h4 style="font-weight:normal">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 <a href="http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Grants" target="_blank">Catalyst
Grants</a> program.</h4>
<p>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. <br></p>
<p><a href="https://support.creativecommons.org/donate" target="_blank">But
we can't do it
without your help.</a> 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.</p><p><strong>Thanks to the Milan
Chamber of Commerce </strong>which has
generously donated EUR 10,000 to jumpstart the effort!</p><p><b>Will you
join in?</b><br></p>
