Could you be our next spotlight charity?
Over the past month, we’ve put the spotlight on some of our newest charities to give them a little boost in our Squidoo community. Going forward, if you’d love to be our next spotlight charity, we’re going to make you work for it!
With dozens of awesome charities already being sponsored through Squidoo, and a handful of applications coming in each week, it’s important to do what you can to make your charity stand out. For those charities who are willing to put their best foot (or photo) forward, we’re offering a week in the spotlight.
If you’d love to become the next Spotlight Charity, just follow the simple rules below:
1. Make sure your “about us” lens is up to snuff.
Here are a few tips to make it shine: creating your “about our charity” lens, build a better lens
2. Find a digital photo of a recent event.
And include a caption so we know what it’s for.
3. Write a short story about what you’ve been doing over the past month.
Be specific. How many people did you help? How much food did you donate? How many volunteers were in the walk-a-thon?
3.5 Send it all to kimberly@squidoo.com
If your charity is selected as the spotlight charity, it will be featured on Charity Central, the Non-Profit Nook, our Twitter feed, and this blog. Who knows where that kind of fame could take you!
We’ll be featuring one charity a week. If yours isn’t selected, never fear. You can always check the steps above and reapply. I can’t wait to see all those great photos and stories!
PS: March is a special month for charity newsletters, so you’ll really want to make sure you read them. Starting next week, keep your eye out for Nine Things Successful Charities Do on Squidoo!
