What Would Love Do Foundation Offering Be the Change Grants
USA, December 5, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Multi-media company What Would Love Do Int’l (WWLDI) in partnership with the What Would Love Do Foundation (WWLDF) announces it will award individuals $500 Be the Change Grants based on online written applications from its website, www.whatwouldlovedo.org.
The Be the Change Grant program seeks to support persons who currently are or would like to make a difference in the lives of others by lending a helping hand in a way that effects lasting and measurable change.
"Love makes the world go 'round, but a little cash helps, too," says project founder, Christine Horner. "Not everyone wants to run a non-profit. It's time to recognize ordinary individuals who go about their everyday lives, quietly making our world a beautiful one. By empowering the individual to 'be the change' from a grassroots level, we can begin to level the playing field so that others see the potential contained in their own lives when coming from a place of love."

Each month, finalists will be selected before the winner is announced. The numbers of winners depends on the amount of grant money available. The monthly winners will then be given the opportunity to have their story published in a new series of inspirational books in development by WWLDI’s media arm, In the Garden Publishing.
The first grants will be awarded the end of January, 2015, with support from a nominal application fee. The inspiring stories will be available in the new WWLD Grassroots Global Online Community at www.community.whatwouldlovedo.org. Anyone may join the online global community free of charge. Community members are invited to share success stories, their
expertise, and products and services to grow the borderless and open source cooperative community online.
“We are looking for heart-felt and compelling stories. As an interdependent global community, it’s time we work together cooperatively to meet humanity’s basic needs. Acting out of fear-based competition and separation have done enough damage to each other and our planet. If each of us pays it forward, we can create a new, heart-centered, self-sustainable economy and global community from the ground up that’s truly by and for the people,” concluded Horner.
