I’ve been so busy hacking and hustling that I haven;t had much any time to update here, but after a day and a half, we’ve made great progress.

We have a four person team building Invest Your Heart.

InvestYourHeart is a collaborative social change investment platform for people who believe:

What’s in your heart is just as valuable as what’s in your wallet.
InvestYourHeart creates an opportunity for heartful, conscious, intentional giving to causes you care about.  Each time you invest, you’ll be invited to share what’s in your heart while you’re making the investment by creating a “heartspace”.  These “heartspaces” will be visually displayed on the landing page, and contributors will be able to offer them as virtual gifts to friends and family by designating a contribution in their honor.

We’re all in this together.
Instead of initiating separate, independent fundraising & social action campaigns for each project on the site, instead, we’ll mount themed campaigns in which like-minded nonprofits may participate as affiliates.   By collaborating common campaigns, we can achieve critical mass that attracts more visibility and resources to all participating projects.

Funding is just the beginning.
So often, crowdfunding sites encourage attention to a project ony until it’s been funded.  At InvestYourHeart, we know funding is only the beginning, and we know people who have invested their hearts in your efforts are interested in more than seeing a fundraising goal met.  We provide unique opportunities to interact online with the people & communities that are transformed through our collaborative investments and provide ongoing updates so you can see the love you’ve manifested in the world, not just the money you’ve helped to raise.

As expected, we have a Facebook Page and twitter account set up.
