Hi Colleagues and Friends of Diplo, This is a call to action, please respond. Best Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stephanie Borg Psaila <stephaniep@diplomacy.edu> Date: Fri, 9 May 2014 11:42:20 +0200 Subject: Diplo needs your help... To: igcbp@diplomacy.edu Dear friends, Since funding for deserving students to attend courses has become very difficult, we are trying new possibilities. Please read about it below, and help us if you can. Donations and passing this information to others both count as helping... Diplo has launched its first crowdfunding attempt, through the Pozible platform: http://www.pozible.com/project/180875. We are starting with a very modest goal: to raise funds for several scholarships for our summer courses; we hope this will develop into a substantial fund which we can use in different ways to support the participation of people from small and developing states in our courses. We have also established a page on our website to support this fund: http://www.diplomacy.edu/aboutus/support/fund. The idea of crowdfunding is to collect a large number of small (or medium-sized) donations. To do this, we need to reach as wide as possible an audience with the invitation to contribute and to share. Please share the announcement or the link above; if you know anyone who might like to contribute with a small or even not-so-small donation, please invite them to do so. Your help is much appreciated! Best, Stephanie* <http://www.diplointernetgovernance.org>** <http://www.diplomacy.edu/courses>* Is this email not displaying correctly?

The idea with crowdfunding is to collect small donations from multiple sources. We are starting with a modest goal, but hope to eventually establish a substantial rolling fund to assist many people over the long term. You know the value of our work in helping to strengthen the voices of small and developing states at international conferences and negotiations, and enable them to better represent national needs and interests. We want to build this fund because we know the impact of scholarships for many people who couldn’t otherwise participate in Diplo’s programmes. Yet the financial resources available to provide this support are reducing, as donor priorities change. *How can you help? * - Have you benefited from our courses and would you like to help others do the same? Please consider making a donation. Donations do not have to be large - 10 euros will make a difference. - Do you know other people who share our vision and have the financial means to help, with a larger donation? Please let them know about our campaign and about how studying with Diplo made a difference for you. - Help us share the news about our campaign widely. You can share it on Facebook or Twitter, and through any networks you are part of.
