Mobilize.org Issues Call for Applications for its Money in Politics Grant Summit |
Application period open for Millennials to attend Democracy 2.0 Entrepreneur “Money in Politics” Grant Summit to be hosted in July 2008
Mobilize.org, the all-partisan youth civic engagement organization, has announced the application launch for its Democracy 2.0 Entrepreneur Grant Summit, Money in Politics, to be held July 18-21, 2008, in Denver, Colorado. In partnership with The Sunlight Foundation and Common Cause, Mobilize.org is seeking innovative projects focused towards clean election practices at the local, state, and national level.
Mobilize.org is focusing efforts on empowering members of the Millennial Generation to develop innovative clean elections practices, emphasizing the creation of public finance reforms at the local and state level. Mobilize.org’s Money in Politics Grant Summit presents members of the Millennial Generation with the opportunity to identify a need for clean elections practices, and through the use of interactive key pad voting technology and peer to peer dialogue, develop an idea or solution that would address that need, and present a proposal for funding at the Summit.
Grant summit winners will each receive a grant, between $3,000 and $5,000, and more importantly, will receive the support of Mobilize.org and our extensive partner network to champion their proposal and create systemic and long lasting change in the way elections are run.
