APAID is on the winning track!
YES, we’re almost there! As all of you who had time to read the previous email may remember: APAID has been nominated as the world’s most promising young social enterprise by the Unreasonable Institute. The first 25 finalists to raise $6,500 on the online marketplace will win a ten-week mentor intensive course and a seed grant that will enable us to bring the venture to the next level. The good news is: Many people have supported us so far and we need only $1.972,- more! Therefore we want to reach out to you one last time, because you can make us finishing first! What can you do to help APAID realizing this amazing opportunity? 1. You can give a donation to APAID on the platform (at this moment the maximum amount to donate is USD 50,- , next week this will be USD 100,-). 2. You can share this information with all your contacts. 3. You can convince at least 5 persons to donate and share this information as well. Lastly, we want to take this opportunity to already thank all the fantastic people who have supported us in the last weeks: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! P.S. For those of you who didn’t have the time to read the previous email some reasons why you would help us: We understand that there are plenty other great initiatives that deserve your money (e.g. initiatives helping Haiti after the earth quake) and therefore we won’t tell you not to give to anyone else. But here are three reasons why we believe you should consider supporting us: 1. If we get to the 10 weeks unreasonable institute we will learn and share experiences with the world’s best social entrepreneurs. This will bring us the knowledge, insights and skills that will eventually allow us to reach our goal of enhancing the lives of 1 million people with disabilities who are still facing inequality and discrimination on a daily basis. 2. The Unreasonable Institute will give each finalist a seed grant that allows us to bring the organization to the next level. For you it means that your money might be three folded because the seed grant will be more than the USD 6.500 needed to get to the institute (pretty good prospective for you isn’t it?) 3. In the unexpected case that we are not in the first 25 to raise USD 6.500, you do not lose your money as it will only be deducted from your account if we are in the first 25.
