How to Help ISIS Victims: Support Orgs Who Help Them

On Saturday I saw a NY Times article (http://tinyurl.com/nyt-isis) on how ISIS treats slave women, and by Sunday I had obtained a Google grant for Yazda.org, mentioned in the article. The Google grant will provide Yazda with $120,000.00 USD in yearly budget to run ads on Google.

Through the RGB Foundation, (a 501c3), I’ve helped 23 organizations to get Google grants, and the RGB Foundation needs support (RGB doesn't receive any money from the grants). Managing the grants involves creating and managing ads, keywords and campaigns for each organization. The organizations often don’t have the expertise or the money to pay for professional marketing services. But the impact and opportunity is huge. For example, the total combined 10 year value of the grants is over 110 million dollars.

Do you want to have an impact? Please help RGB to support existing organizations and expand to help others. The orgs RGB helps include human rights, environmental, museums, health-related and others.

YOU’RE HIRED! I’m looking for anyone who might like to volunteer, such as helping to find non-profits, serving on the board or advisory board and software engineers. In addition to working to empower non-profits with Google Grants, the RGB Foundation is developing a new donation platform to make it easier to support a portfolio of organizations, and several developers have donated some coding, and we could use more help.
