2. TRANSLATE THIS STATUS UPDATE into your own language and SHARE ON FB:
Edgeryders, a global action network of change makers in 40 + countries, is organising a joint application to the MacArthur foundation’s 100 Million Dollar grant and invites you to participate.
This collaborative process was started on the morning of July 18, 2016. Its original intent was to fundraise to support 100 initiatives that contribute towards providing high-quality, affordable health- and social care for all.
We know first-hand that it’s difficult for small initiatives to access sufficient resources alone. Especially if they are breaking new ground. Our hope with this initiative is to make it easier for people to start deeper collaborations, build collective awareness, and pool resources towards achieving impact at scale.
Between now and October 2, are visiting different countries to convene participants in our joint bid for the 100 million USD grant. Each event is hosted by a local initiative which resonates with our own ethos and approach:

I just hit the “share” button on the status update i made, and choose the “share in a separate message” option:
4. Translate the headlines for the best stories and frontload buffer
The success of this initiative will depend to some extent how visible and active we make the conversation. And how many people discover the beautiful projects people are working on, and start talking to one another on the platform. So our aim is to
- Translate the headlines for the main stories into the local languages (and some other ones)
- Craft individual calls for participation i.e. do this please - you will get that in return. We have aggregated them in the Social Contract: now we need to break them down into individual calls for action instead of all together in one document.
- Daily: Share three headlines in your language every day between now and when we the jury announces the winner.
- Daily: Share 3 calls for participation out on the FB event page and twitter. .
- Daily: welcome new sign ups and participants on twitter and FB
