raising funds for OSonOS

[Tree Fitzpatrick]

Another funding tip for Raffi. Have the Central Asian women check out
mamacash.org <http://mamacash.org>, which funds some conference and travel
costs for women in certain parts of the world. A woman attended the Seattle
Practice of Peace from Herzegovina because we suggested she check out
mamacash, she took up our suggestion and voila! she got funds.

Who knows if it will help your colleagues, Raffi. As Lisa points out in her
note,citizen engagement, democracy, social change, sustainability, planning,
strategy and community building are good examples of the kinds of funding
criteria that would fall under the scope of an OSonOS. Mamacash has multiple
funding priorities, all women clients.
