Support an Organization That Matters to You – Join the 2010 This Place Matters Community Challenge!
Is there an organization in your region that could use $25,000? Maybe they’d like to hear about the 2010 This Place Matters Community Challenge!
As you may know, This Place Matters is the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s public awareness campaign that has helped thousands of people, communities, and preservation-minded folks across the country express what places really matter to them.
This summer, we’ve created the This Place Matters Community Challenge to help non-profit preservation organizations harness the power of this campaign, to raise awareness and mobilize people in your area, and to start a conversation about what matters in your community – along with the chance to win a $25,000 cash award!
Participating in the Challenge is easy. All you need to do is:
1. Fill out our easy online application.*
2. Select a place that will galvanize folks in your community to get involved.
3. Post a picture of the place and tell your story in our easy to use PreservationNation template.
4. Start the conversation and get as many folks involved as possible!
We’ll provide all the tools you’ll need to generate support, including sample emails, Facebook posts and tweets to get out the vote, and sample press releases to help you get local media involved. We’ll even tell you how to start your own Facebook page if you don’t currently have one.
The non-profit organization that gets the most people to register their support by through their PreservationNation page by September 15, 2010, will win a cash award of $25,000!
PreservationNation pages go live and voting begins on August 15, 2010, so be sure to join the This Place Matters Community Challenge today!
